Packages that could be upgraded and have been placed on hold:
aptitude search '~U~ahold'
Pakchages that could be upgraded:
aptitude search '~U'
(Assuming that, for your purposes, "could be upgraded" is equivalent
to
"have been held back".)
Thanks very much. I swear I read the docs, but I guess I
can't read.
For my purposes I think I want:
aptitude search '~U' -o
Dir::Etc::sourcelist=/etc/apt/sources.list.securityonly
where sources.list.securityonly has just the security.debian.org
repositories. (It makes me wonder if there's a way
to do this without having a separate sources.list file.)
