Package: apt-show-versions
Version: 0.10
Severity: normal
$ apt-show-versions -v mime-codecs
mime-codecs 7.19-7 newer than version in archive
No it is not. It is gone from the archive.
$ apt-cache policy mime-codecs
only shows
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Anyway, please distinguish the cases of gone from the archive (no
longer in sid), and dpkg-repack packages too.
I want a "vrms" like command line for anacron that will send me a list
of Obsolete and Locally Created Package by mail each month and
distinguish the ones made by dpkg-repack and the ones that silently
disappeared from sid.
I don't want to use a GUI like synaptic or the scary to me aptitude
GUI.
OK, maybe I will try
apt-show-versions|sort >/tmp/apt-show-versions
for i in /unknown 'newer than version in archive' \
'No available version in archive'; do echo; echo ======$i;\
fgrep "$i" /tmp/apt-show-versions; done
