In my experience the only tool that gives correct answers, is
apt-show-versions in the package of the same name:
$ apt-show-versions | grep -v '/stable '
Thanks.
Do you have an example of a case when apt-show-versions works better when the
following command?
apt list '~i' | grep -Ev '[/,]stable(-updates|-security)?,'
<snip>
I have to add that I'm working on a system from the testing archive with
unstable and experimental archives also available.
Indeed the commands
$ apt list '~i' | grep -v '/testing'
and
$ apt-show-versions | grep -v '/testing '
show the same packages, correctly, but
$ apt list '~i!~Atesting'
is missing some packages.
