[Aptitude-devel] Bug#990118: show packages that are not from the default release

[Simon Richter]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.11-7
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

it would be nice if there was a way to find packages whose local version is
higher than the version from the archive that would be selected, possibly
as a new toplevel group "Downgradeable Packages".

Benefits:
 - quickly assessing whether unstable/experimental packages are installed.
 - making sure that the entire "Installed Packages" group can be
   reinstalled.
