Don't you need to change name of meta files downloaded from meta.list, to the special format?! you didn't mentioned how you move meta data back to target machine, so apt-get can generate list of packages.

improved formatting and spelling. Also, use "machine" consistently instead of alternating with "pc" for no reason.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your first command as upgrade instead of update.. Yeah, I'm kinda trying to do the same thing you used to.. :-)

No, I started with apt-get --print-uris update > meta.list which prints the URIs needed for updating into a file.

did you run the apt-get --print-uris without running apt-get update first?
