> system B > sudo apt-get install -f package-list.txt > > Any better approaches? Any reasons this will blown up in my face? I *assumed* that apt-get had a -f option to designate a file to read package names from.... it does not. So, a working equivalent to what I intended to have happen would be sudo apt-get install `cat package-list.txt` That said, there were problems with the package list needing clean-up (found by doing sudo apt-get install --dry-run `cat package-list.txt`) I just love dry-run options Meanwhile, a lot of packages were already in place on system B and it seems cleaner to do what (Dinesh and) Dan suggests.
