New means packages not previously existing in *any* repository, so in the context of backports it's only useful to see which packages not already available in stable have been added. For this use-case you don't need additional additional patterns. In interactive mode new packages are displayed under a dedicated heading. If one is watching for new packages it also makes sense to clear the list from time to time: aptitude --forget-new ('f' in interactive mode) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic http://nuvreauspam.ro/gpg-transition.txt
