Re: Obsolete packages in Experimental
apt-show-versions | grep /experimental should work too, but I haven't tested it (no experimental packages installed on this machine) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

which have an experimental version?
There might be a better way, but assuming you have experimental in your
sources.list...
t=$(tempfile);
awk $t '/^Package:/{print ^ $2 $}' \
/var/lib/apt/lists/*_dists_experimental_main_binary-*_Packages
dpkg --get-selections | awk '/\tinstall$/{print $1}' | grep -f $t
rm $t
This relies on package names being regex-friendly. (I think the only
regex character they can have is ., which causes few problems.)
