The title is imprecise. Actually, the question is: How do I list installed packages except those automatically installed to satisfy dependencies. In aptitude that would be packages marked as "i " but not as "i A". And if there is no command to list this, where in /etc (or whereever) is the information hidden? Please CC me, I am not subscribed. Thanks in advance, Mark Weyer
You could also look at the package deborphan. I believe it will give you the information you are looking for.
