Here is the short version of what's up. I have a work computer with a fast internet connection running FC3. I have a home computer with a POKEY-slow internet connection running FC2. I thought that it would be great if I could copy the /var/cache/apt directory and the /etc/apt directory to my home computer, I could run apt-get dist-upgrade and Voila! my home computer would be upgraded to FC3. Well... it ALMOST worked... Problem is, when I run apt-get dist-upgrade, it says that there are no update, no changes what-so-ever that it can make. So, my question is this... Is there a way to get apt to 'forget' what it thinks is installed on the system and check the versions of everything again? That way, I can install all of the new stuff. Is there a better way to do what I'm looking to do? Thanks for the time! - Matt ps - I know that this is slightly off topic since it's something of an apt question rather than a pure Fedora question. I hope you will help out anyway...
