I just upgraded from Lucid to Maverick, and as expected, all my PPAs were disabled. I have re-enabled most of the ones that I want, but I would like to get a list of all packages that I installed from PPAs that I no longer have enabled. I feel that the best way to do this would be to search for all packages where the currently installed version of that package does not match any version from a currently-enabled repository. Is there an easy way to search for such packages.

Command-line solutions welcome.

Try aptitude search ~o or longer version aptitude search ?obsolete. From documentation, it "match installed packages that cannot be downloaded".

    This will also show things you download manually as .deb files, things that you build and package yourself and things that are no longer in a repository... But it should give you a rough idea.

  • Cool. I realize that manually-downloaded debs and suchlike will also appear, but if I manually installed it, I can manually sift through it, so that's not a problem. Jan 7, 2011 at 16:02
