Hello all,
on a system I operate, Debian Squeeze 6.09 has been installed. At one
point, it was necessary to install a more recent version of roundcube
(web-mail client) out of the testing release. This of course caused some
other packages to be updated to testing, too.
My objective is as follows:
Produce a list of installed packages whose presently installed version
is from the testing archive.
The /etc/sources.list currently holds references to squeeze/updates
(debian-security), main squeeze stable release, squeeze-updates,
squeeze-backports; and to the testing release. Through apt-pinning the
squeeze-backports was given a higher priority than testing, in order to
avoid packages installed from backports to drift over to testing.
According to the Debian Reference, chapter 2.2.7. The aptitude regex
formula [1], this aptitude filter seemed appropriate to me:
~i~Atesting
[1]
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_the_aptitude_regex_formula
However, this filter lists all installed packages, regardless of their
presently installed source archive, who offer a version from testing,
too. (Which are of course many, if not all.) I tried to use the filter
~V (for package version), but there is no common pattern to packages
version I am aware of that would improve the search.
What is the correct filter to:
- list all installed packages coming from testing release;
- while *not* listing installed packages from other releases (e.g.
stable) for which an alternative version from testing is available?
Can this be achieved?
With kind regards,
Peter
