As an aptitude-novice, I tried the above command on my
fully-operational upgrade from Sarge to Etch. It gave a long list of
installed packages - almost all of which were part of the Debian
install.
The generated list included one of the two non-Debian packages (opera)-
deleted during the install and replaced subsequently. It failed to find
the only other non-Debian package (vuescan).
I also ran the following:
| $ aptitude search '~i! ~Odebian' | grep opera*
and got :
| i eject - ejects CDs and operates CD-Changers
| i opera - The Opera Web Browser
What have I <missed|misunderstood>?
