Hi,
 the post is wrong :) If you look at the apt-get manual (man apt-get
from command line) you will see that the above command is missing the
action. To make an upgrade you should use

  apt-get upgrade -y --print-uris > debs.list

To simply update/install the package named package_name you should use

  apt-get install -y print-uris > debs.list

The line using the debs.list seems correct, but I did not try it.
