[ubuntu-in] adding the same packages in a new installation

Hello All,

I am using Natty 64 bit on my computer. I would like to do a new install of
Oneiric 64 bit. I do not have good internet connection at home, so I have to
go elsewhere to download packages. I usually follow the following procedure
for a new installation:

1. save markings including the full state in synaptics from the existing
installation
2. install the new OS in a VMbox
3. in the new installation, open synaptics, read the markings from a saved
file, generate a download script.
4. go to a fast internet place, download all the packages and then bring
them back home, run dpkg to install the downloaded debs

When I tried this for Oneiric, there were 6 broken packages, when I tried to
remove them and move on, the packages are held (not removed) and synaptic
can not generate the download script or download the packages at all.

Is there some other way to do this?

Sincerely,

Moz
