Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.10-9
Aptitude's "~o" search string is not good enough.
It doesn't catch cases like in Bug #902503.
For such cases one needs
# aptitude -F '%t %p' search ~i!~o|perl -nwle 'print if s/^now //;'
firefox
libffi6
That's the only way one is going to find them.
# aptitude -F '%t %p' search ~i!~o|perl -nwle 'print if s/^now //;'|xargs
apt-cache policy
firefox:
Installed: 61.0~b8-1
Candidate: 61.0~b8-1
Version table:
*** 61.0~b8-1 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
60.0.2-2 500
500 http://free.nchc.org.tw/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
libffi6:
Installed: 3.3~20160224-1
Candidate: 3.3~20160224-1
Version table:
*** 3.3~20160224-1 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3.2.1-8 500
500 http://free.nchc.org.tw/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
So aptitude needs a new ~ search term, like ~o, but for packages in the
$ apt-show-versions | grep newer
firefox:amd64 61.0~b8-1 newer than version in archive
libffi6:amd64 3.3~20160224-1 newer than version in archive
state.
Or at least add my example to the aptitude manual. I'm sure one would
want to detect such packages.
