ah! “dpkg -l | grep ^i | grep -v ^ii”

There was an extra – in there. Oh, and the -l is a minus little-L

If you run “dpkg -l | grep -^i | grep -v ^ii” you’ll get a listing of all packages that are marked for install but aren’t *actually* installed. That’d be the list of things you installed from not-the-repos.

Thanks for spotting that, Jonas I will edit that.

You may want to remove that extra space within “dpkg –set-selections < < packages.list”, I’m not sure but it will probably not work anymore with that space.
