Please go through you post and correct as many typing mistakes as possible (there are at least 30). It makes the post extraordinarily difficult to read.

Quote:
Similar situation is in packages one package can be usesd with another, and that is depenndency.
Maybe you mean?:

Quote:
Where one package relies on another, that is a dependency.
Perhaps number the paragraphs so that people can respond to specific questions within this thesis.
Where you have an actual command line that you have typed at a command prompt and pasted into the post, please mark the command line with "code tags".

This line for example is rather difficult to follow unless we can split the code from the dialogue:

Quote:
What is dpkg --get-selections > bak; dpkg --set-selections < bak; (just another format for dpkg -l) ?
Did you mean:?
Is
Code:
dpkg --get-selections > bak; dpkg --set-selections < bak

just another format for
Code:
dpkg -l



Please state what failed? e.g. Did you receive any error messages from:

Code:
dpkg --remove packagename


On a pedantic note:

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

debget

DEBGET(1)						   Debian-goodies documentation 						 DEBGET(1)

NAME

       debget - Fetch a .deb for a package in APT's database

SYNOPSIS

       debget package [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

       debget fetches a .deb for one or more packages from an Debian mirror.  It uses apt-get(1) to find out the URL so it will download the same
       version from the same server as apt-get would do. The .deb will be downloaded with curl(1) and stored in your current working directory.

KNOWN BUGS

       debget will not work for packages that are available in apt-get's cache.  If you need that functionality please use the .download option in
       aptitude.
