I tested both of apt-show-versions and aptitude limit approach. There
are differences. apt-show-versions shows which packages are installed
from what archive. The list aptitude shows is, the packages which are
installed and they exists in the given archive. apt-show-versions is
more like what I wanted.
for example if package X is installed from stable and the same version
is available in testing, apt-show-versions doesn't show it but aptitude
shows.
Thanks,

Hi,
I would like to list all packages installed from testing. How can I do
that? First limiting to ~installed and then searching ~archive(testing)
gives me packages that are installed and available in testing and that's
not what I want. For example, I have evolution 2.22 from stable. So,
~installed matches evolution 2.22, so package evolution is in the list
and ~archive(testing) matches evolution because evolution 2.28 is in
testing. However, I don't want to see evolution in the list because I
want only the packages that are installed from testing (not the ones
that are installed and available in testing). If it is not installed
from testing, I don't want to see it. How can I do that? I hope the
explanation was clear.
If I understand you correctly then I think the narrowing search
pattern/operator is what you want:
aptitude search '~S ~i ~Atesting'
