Bug Description
apt-imagen
http://
apt-imagen is a script used to install .deb packages on a machine (host1) with a slow or no Internet connection, through a second machine, using an image of the state of the packages system on host1. apt-image works on Debian GNU/Linux or any other distributions that have the installation tool apt-get, i.e. based on the package management system APT.
The main differences from similar apt-zip tool:
* apt-zip can download packages even on non-*nix systems (wget is sufficient on downloading machine), apt-imagen needs debian-based system with APT.
* apt-imagen can download packages for machine with *NO* internet connection - apt-zip needs at least slow connection to resolve list of packages needed
to be downloaded.
Not in Ubuntu or Debian - Confirmed.
