try `aptitude autoclean` or `apt-get autoclean`
if you don't have any network level apt caching then i would rsync
/var/cache/apt/archives from the upgraded box to the to-be-upgraded box
if you are trying to sync installed packages, use `dpkg --get-selections` on
both and diff them.

<xterm> The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
