How to list available backport upgrades

rated 0 times [ 14] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 11440 / 2 Years ago, thu, february 3, 2022, 4:22:10

I have just followed Ubuntu Backports to activate manual backports and I have a couple of questions. How can I, in the command line (e.g. apt-cacher or aptitude):

list installed packages that have available backport upgrades? (Before, I used apt-show-versions -u for upgradeable packages)

list all available backport packages (installed or not)?
