[Aptitude-devel] Bug#1085761: aptitude: Aptitude does not show "obsolete and locally created packages" anymore

[Bastian Venthur]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.13-6.1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: venthur at debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

When updating to a newer kernel version, I used to be able to see the outdated,
yet still installed version under "obsolete and locally created packages" in
aptitude. This section seems to be gone now. Since I don't see them anymore, I
tend to forget to remove the old kernels, leading sooner or later to a full
partition, preventing newer kernels to install.

Can you please bring that feature back?


Cheers,

Bastian
