Hmm, obviously there are no Release files for the DVDs, either because they do not exist on the DVDs themselves or because apt-cdrom does not copy them to /var/lib/apt/lists. The "~O" match of aptitude relies on the "Origin: ..." statement in the Release files AFAIK, so it will not work here. I have no idea if this is the expected behavior for DVDs (and maybe CDs as well), because I never bother to keep the netinstall cdrom line in my sources.list. You might have to add a Debian mirror to the sources.list and run aptitude update if you want to make the "~O" match working. If that computer is connected to the internet at all then you should have the security repository included anyhow, even if you don't care about the rest. To address your original problem, it might be enough to search for obsolete packages: aptitude search '~o" (lowercase o!) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
