I'm running testing and noticed in Synaptic I have a bunch of
packages which are in the "local or obselete category". Some have
been locally installed...but most are those I had to re-install after
an unfortunate problem sometime ago. I assume because they are in the
local or obselete category they are not subjcet to being updated. How
can I change this, I guess in aptitude ??

Thanks
