What's the frequency of the letter "e" in:
Q: using apt-clone on fresh ubuntu 16.04 installs php 7.0 im trying to clone my server setup without websites.  I am doing this so others can use the same server setup as mine.
My setup does not include apache
my setup does not include php7.0
however when installing the clone to a fresh ubuntu 16.04 it installs apache and php7.0 non of which are included in my clone.
it totally ignores the php7.1 and all dependence from the clone
it seems that ubuntu 16.04 overides the install and chooses to install apache and php7.0.
I have checked the install files over and there is not mention of apache or php7.0
here is a copy of the install https://www.dropbox.com/s/a3zpwveb4y761hg/foo.apt-clone.tar.gz
hope someone can help.
thank you in advance

A: My guess is that apt-clone only clones the package names, not the actual repositories defined in the system. Therefore you need to check /etc/apt/sources.list.d content and copy that also to the destination system.
Another issue could be a mismatch between source and destination system OS versions.
