List installed packages that are no longer installable via repository?

  • 772

This question is in reference to another question that has not been answered. When I upgraded Ubuntu, all my PPAs were removed (which I'm ok with). Is there a way to list all the packages that no longer have a repository associated with them?

    APT refers to these packages as "obsolete".

    Evidently there is no direct way to list these, but you could do:

    aptitude search '~o'

    Or alternatively:

    apt-show-versions | grep 'No available version'

    Source: How do I get a list of obsolete packages?

    If you want a GUI tool you can do this with Synaptic by using the built-in "local or obsolete" filter.
