Could anyone confirm if this is correct?
$ apt-show-versions -b | grep sarge-backports
libdps1/sarge-backports
oooqs-kde/sarge-backports
Seems not; I definitely have more backports installed than that! e.g.,
$ apt-cache policy gimp
gimp:
Installed: 2.2.10-1bpo1
Candidate: 2.2.10-1bpo1
Version Table:
2.2.10-2 0
100 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
*** 2.2.10-1bpo1 0
125 http://www.backports.org sarge-backports/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2.2.6-1 0
500 http://http.us.debian.org stable/main Packages
$ apt-show-versions -b gimp
gimp/unstable
So, it looks like some backports show up as /unstable/ here. The
following command seems to work, though it catches locally-installed
packages too (and anything else not from stable):
apt-show-versions -b | grep -v '\<stable$' | cut -d/ -f1
