Re: [deb-sec] Re: How safely to stop using backports repo?

Hi Stu,

When I was downgrading from mixed stable/testing to stable, I created 
daudit. It is a perl script that compares a computer's installed debian 
packages with any of the three debian releases. daudit downloads the 
packagelist from packages.debian.org and compares it with dpkg on the 
local machine. daudit does not write to disk, and you don't need root 
access to use it. It might be useful for you:

Let me know if it works for you!
