Correct. The output of apt-show-versions will depend on what is listed
in /etc/apt/sources.list. I want the output to be independent of that.
>From the man page of apt-cache
/etc/apt/sources.list
Locations to fetch packages from. Configuration Item:
Dir::Etc::SourceList.
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/
File fragments for locations to fetch packages from.
Configuration Item: Dir::Etc::SourceParts.
A while ago I decided to move from Jessie to Stretch. So I have
% inxi -r
Repos: Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
contrib non-free
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates
main contrib non-free
deb-src http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates
main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free

% apt-cache policy python3.4
python3.4:
Installed: 3.4.2-1
Candidate: 3.4.2-1
Version table:
*** 3.4.2-1 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
But now I find that my system has lots of packages from Jessie which
are no longer present in either Stretch or Sid. I would like get a
list of all such packages and decide if I want to remove them.
