This is still a bug as per Mon 18 Aug 2008 in Feisty.

I marked all installed packages for "reinstallation".
This then allowed the script generator to work.

But the script that it generated looked like ;

"
#!/bin/sh
wget -c
wget -c
wget -c
wget -c
wget -c
wget -c
wget -c
wget -c
wget -c
wget -c
"
[etc .....]

This doesn't look like it would install any package.

So that makes two problems.
1) Script generator needs a quirky work-around user manually input-ed procedure to work,
and
2) even then it doesn't work properly.

Note :
See an equivalent (but more successful) function for debian's dpkg at ;
