I am not sure about what you want, but I think this could help you:
To download a deb, from console and apt-get:
If you want to install it, you don't have to extract the deb. Simply do this:
To download a deb, from console and apt-get:
Code:
aptitude download name_of_package
Code:
dpkg -i name_of_package.deb

I have no problem with downloading and installing
my question explained, that I have an app installed on my n900, let's say, Panorama.
Can I extract Panorama with all it's dependencies from N900 into a deb file?

The above works fine for downloading from the maemo.org repositories but does it work from Ovi store too? I mean can aptitude get stuff from Ovi and not unpack it, especially paid-for s/w?
When you do a back-up with either Ovi suite or the build in back up tool, it stores a list of installed software (for better or for worse!). I think this is supposed to allow you to reinstall s/w, including paid-for items without paying again. You seem to have problems the Ovi servers, which might prevent the above working though.

AFAIK, there's no way of telling from Ovi, what the dependencies are, in the same way once can from maemo.org's package interface. Again, if I'm wrong please, someone, correct me.

AFAIK, downloading from OVI store is not possible.
And downloading Panorama (for example) and it's dependencies could be possible if you make a script.
Take a look at this.
However, I think it is difficult, because, what happen with dependencies of dependencies? I mean, maybe you have to download a lot of packages. Too much packages if you are going to reflash your N900...
Hope I helped you.
And sorry if I don't speak English very well...

I don't want to download from OVI
I already have all applications I want on my device
I want to back up these applications with it's dependencies (the ones in my device) before I flash it, so I don't need to find a way with OVI.........
for example: if you type in terminal:
sudo apt-get remove panorama
panorama and all it's dependencies will be removed
I want a way like this:
sudo apt-get backup panorama
so that instead of removing it, it backs it up in a deb file including dependencies.

Since I'm living in a country which is restricted by nokia, I can't download any files from ovi store or from nokia's repository. But since I traveled to another country nearby I used this opportunity to download what I wanted and voila.
But I want to flash my n900...
Is there a way to extract deb files and store them so that to install them after the flashing?
Or simply making a backup of certain files, games, apps?
