NAME
aptitude-create-state-bundle - bundle the current aptitude state
SYNOPSIS
-
aptitude-create-state-bundle [<options>...] <output-file>
DESCRIPTION
-
-
Note
-
- This command is mostly for internal use and bug reporting in exceptional cases, it is not intended for end-users under normal circumstances.
aptitude-create-state-bundle
produces a compressed archive storing the files that are required to replicate the current package archive state. The following files and directories are included in the bundle:
-
•
$HOME/.aptitude
-
•
/var/lib/aptitude
-
•
/var/lib/apt
-
•
/var/cache/apt/*.bin
-
•
/etc/apt
-
•
/var/lib/dpkg/status
The output of this program can be used as an argument to
aptitude-run-state-bundle(1).
OPTIONS
--force-bzip2
-
Override the autodetection of which compression algorithm to use. By default,
aptitude-create-state-bundle
uses
bzip2(1)
if it is available, and
gzip(1)
otherwise. Passing this option forces the use of
bzip2
even if it doesn't appear to be available.
--force-gzip
-
Override the autodetection of which compression algorithm to use. By default,
aptitude-create-state-bundle
uses
bzip2(1)
if it is available, and
gzip(1)
otherwise. Passing this option forces the use of
gzip
even if
bzip2
is available.
--help
-
Print a brief usage message, then exit.
--print-inputs
-
Instead of creating a bundle, display a list of the files and directories that the program would include if it generated a bundle.
FILE FORMAT
The bundle file is simply a
tar(1)
file compressed with
bzip2(1)
or
gzip(1), with each of the input directory trees rooted at
".".
