Maybe its unclear what the feature is supposed to do? Here is a quick overview:
- save markings will save the current *changes* of the cache to a file. So if you mark 2vcard for install that will be saved and can later be reloaded. The format is compatible with dpkg --set-selections and dpkg --get-selections.
- if you save "full state" it will also save for installed packages (useful to duplicate a machine package setup)
- generate download script will generate a download script for the *changes* in the cache only
If its still a bug, please add instructions how to reproduce and I'm happy to have a look. Suggestions for better names/help
are also welcome.
Thanks for your bugreport.
I just tried that and it appears to work for me.
