What I generally do to check the status of the system and see if everything is up-to-date and as it should be: - check /etc/debian_version - check /etc/apt/sources.list (also the easiest place to get the code name because I always forget the version numbers and you can immediately see which repositories are used) - check /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ - use aptitude to see if anything is funny (obsolete or unused packages mostly) - use apt-show-versions and some clever grepping to see where all packages come from (and whether they're up-to-date/obsolete/manually installed/outdated experimental/whatever) -- -- arthur - adejong@debian.org - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
