How can I find packages manually installed using "dpkg -i"?
I want to upgrade Bullseye to Bookworm and I want to remove all packages
that I installed manually, downloading the .debs
and then using "dpkg -i".
Before you say:
$ apt list '?narrow(?installed, ?not(?origin(Debian)))'
The problem with that is there are packages that I added from the Linux
Mint repos (not manually) and that I want to keep and they all have the
tag "local". For example:
mintmenu/now 6.1.5 all [installed,local]
mintreport/now 1.3.5 all [installed,local]
mintsources/now 2.1.9 all [installed,local]
because they were installed from a compressed image.
/var/log/dpkg.log is also (mysteriously) empty.
And obviously bash_history doesn't go far enough.
Any clue?
