I have problem with one deb repository (specifically medibuntu.org) today - synaptic is not able to find repository indexes (and they are really not there - maybe due to yesterday's changes).



So I have the errors flying all over the place. I could just remove that repository - but I simply do not remember which packages came from it, so just removing it could screw my updates on some crucial package.



So, my question is - how do I find, which installed packages can not be found in any repository?

aptitude can do this query for you, with the ~o ("o" for "obsolete") search:



aptitude search ~o


this lists the packages that can no longer be downloaded.



I don't think there's an apt-cache search equivalent, and I'm not sure about synaptic.



For more info on search terms with aptitude, check out the section on search terms in the aptitude reference guide.
