Indeed.
The pattern should probably not mix long form with short form.
Additionally, I don't know why the brackets were used, as far as I
understand from the docs they are not needed here / do nothing.
Based on this the shortest form would be:
aptitude search '~S~i~ODebian'
or long form:
aptitude search '?narrow(?installed, ?not(?origin(Debian)))'
(tested on a system with locally compiled packages, but no non-Debian
packages and on a system with non-Debian packages and no locally
compiled packages).
The long form is quite self-explanatory, the short form is easier to
type.
Maybe both should be mentioned?
Kind regards,
Andrei
