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)?,'
OK, it issues a warning
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in
scripts.
In my case apt list + grep gives the same packages as "apt list" with
the pattern I posted.
