APTITUDE-CREATE-ST(1) Command-line reference APTITUDE-CREATE-ST(1)
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:
o $HOME/.aptitude
o /var/lib/aptitude
o /var/lib/apt
o /var/cache/apt/*.bin
o /etc/apt
o /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 ".".
