[19:05] <nmzm> hello everyone. How can I download already installed package? For example: I installed gcc via apt, and then deleted all the downloaded packages via apt clean.
[19:05] <nmzm> So is there a way to download that package again? It says that gcc is already installed
[19:07] <wxl> nmzm: you want the deb file for some reason?
[19:08] <gonzalo> How do I join a channel?
[19:09] <gonzalo> and how do I look for channels?
[19:09] <wxl> well you're on a channel so you just did the first XD
[19:09] <nmzm> wxl: Yeah, I want to somehow download the gcc packages with the dependencies as it was at first install
[19:09] <wxl>  /join #channelname
[19:10] <wxl> looking for channels is harder. /list should do it but there's too many channels on freenode, so use the bot instead. /msg alis help
[19:11] <wxl> nmzm: well `apt download gcc` will get you gcc but depends hmmmmm
[19:12] <nmzm> I've seen nothing about this on wiki, but I believe it's easier to do with fresh install(On a VM), but decided to ask, maybe there's a some other way
[19:12] <wxl> OH
[19:12] <wxl> you could use the --reinstall switch
[19:13] <wxl> `apt-get install --reinstall gcc`
[19:14] <nmzm> wxl: Hmm, thank you for help, I'll try that. Hope this will help. I'm not sure that my idea with "local" repository using dpkg-dev will work, but why not to try :D
[19:15] <wxl> nmzm: well what are you trying to do?
[19:15] <nmzm> Just want to learn more about Lubuntu because before I was using Slackware
[19:16] <wxl> so you're trying to learn about how the repositories work?
[19:16] <nmzm> wxl: I want to try to create a local repository recognized by apt, yea
[19:16] <wxl> ah
[19:16] <wxl> i've never bothered
[19:16] <nmzm> like -> Put all packages into the folder, run dpkg-dev to create a Packages.gz and then make an iso and mount it as apt-cdrom
[19:17] <nmzm> Not sure it will work, but again, why not to try :D
[19:17] <wxl> any time i wanted to set something up not necessarily fit for the archives, i've just put it in a ppa
[19:18] <nmzm> ppa.. Hmm I'll read about ppa too. Is it more better?
[19:19] <wxl> well you don't have to set up a repo so XD
[19:19] <wxl> https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA
[19:20] <nmzm> wxl: True :D Thanks for the link! Seems like I need learn much more things :D
[23:14] <materialismbruh> wow people actually exist in this channel
[23:15] <wxl> thsi is surprising because… ?
