aptitude search ~i~Asarge-backports
Of course that is not perfect... to work really accurately the ~S term
needs to be added to the search pattern, and that is not supported in the
version of aptitude that is in stable.
If you have a more recent version of aptitude installed:
aptitude search ~S~i~Asarge-backports
Has anyone managed to backport aptitude to sarge? I just tried it now but
cannot get it to compile. g++ dies on line 72 of
src/generic/apt/matchers.cc, right after some weird GCC-specific attribute
is used... perhaps GCC 3.3 does not understand it?
