Package: debian-goodies Version: 0.53 Severity: wishlist Tags: squeeze It would be nice to have some kind of helper which wades thru the installed packages on a system and checks if they can be re-downloaded.
If not, this is an indication that the package in question has been removed from the debian repos (or sources.list has been modified to no more include a pool which was formally available). I think this may be very helpful for a systems maintainer to remove or replace dead (and for that outdated) packages. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers squeeze-updates APT policy: (500, 'squeeze-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.iso885915 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debian-goodies depends on: ii curl 7.21.0-1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or ii dctrl-tools [grep-dctrl 2.14.5 Command-line tools to process Debi ii dialog 1.1-20100428-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii less 436-1 pager program similar to more ii lsof 4.81.dfsg.1-1 List open files ii perl 5.10.1-17 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii python 2.6.6-3+squeeze5 interactive high-level object-orie ii whiptail 0.52.11-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe debian-goodies recommends no packages.
