"To avoid rescanning" begs the question. The OP wants to know which other files are necessary to copy, and maintains that the ones in /var/lib/apt are not sufficient. Suckers like me are casting round for other possibilities. The last place I saw my Debian DVDs is already mentioned in the thread: "[they] could still be hanging from threads in the vegetable plot, scaring the birds." All I can do is make qualified suggestions for the OP to try out. Is that OK? Cheers, David.
