Package: apt-show-versions Version: 0.22.7 Man page says
OPTIONS
If you don't give any options the status of all installed packages is
printed.
This is no longer true,
$ apt-show-versions
abiword:amd64/unstable 3.0.2-3 uptodate
abiword:i386 not installed
...
Therefore a new option, --exclude-non-installed, or
--include-non-installed is needed.
Or the man page should be revised, and mention if
| grep -v 'not installed$'
is the best way to exclude non installed.
