Thanks, Sebastian
a) The title of 3.1 is very helpfull (not ;-)
b) aptitude search '~S ~i ~O"Unofficial Multimedia Packages"'
- Looks intuitive (not ;-)
- Hmm... no aptitude program installed. I guess long time ago in a universe
far
away debian installed/linked this full name to "apt" ?
- apt search '~S ~i ~O"Unofficial Multimedia Packages"'
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
[== no result]
Hmm... maybe there is a different "aptitue" program from "apt", but why...
- apt-get install aptitude
... Whow, really. That's logical
- apt search '~S ~i ~O"Unofficial Multimedia Packages"'
[== no result]
Well, great. at least the result of apt and aptitude are consistent.
- Reading apt, aptitude docs to compare
- aptitude autoclean
ok. that seems to be able to clean up repository data
But does not delete deb-multimedia installed packages either..
- dpkg-query -l | grep dmo
That actually does list the deb-multimedia packages, but just because their
version numbers are tagged.
So it seems as if the debian package system does not remember the
repository from which a package was installed ??? Aka: no command
to distinguish where an installed package came from in case
the version numbers are not tagged ??
