Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.3-1
Severity: normal
I built a local version of a package:
$ apt-cache policy libedataserverui1.2-8
libedataserverui1.2-8:
Installed: 2.22.2-1dbg1
Candidate: 2.22.2-1dbg1
Version table:
*** 2.22.2-1dbg1 0

520 http://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/main Packages
2.22.1-1 0
530 http://ftp.uk.debian.org lenny/main Packages
But aptitude does not recognise it as being obsolete/locally installed:
$ aptitude search ~o | fgrep libedataserverui1.2-8 | wc -l

As the blurb says, the "obsolete" category is for packages that have
no downloadable version anywhere, not packages whose installed version
isn't downloadable (otherwise every upgradable package would show up as
obsolete).
