This is interesting. Apparently docbook-xsl includes the author of the main document in the manpage automatically, even if the manpage has its own author blurb. I'll comment it out in the master copy. > Also mention if > --purge-unused > Purge packages that are no longer required by any installed package. > This is equivalent to passing "-o Aptitude::Purge-Unused=true" as a > command-line argument. > means that it will target as many as > $ deborphan -a|wc -l > 572 > etc. This is a separate bug, and I have no idea (not having used deborphan myself). > I want a "vrms" like command line for anacron that will send me a list > of Obsolete and Locally Created Package by mail each month and > distinguish the ones made by dpkg-repack and the ones that silently > disappeared from sid. > I don't want to use a GUI like synaptic or the scary to me aptitude > GUI. > OK, maybe I will try > apt-show-versions|sort >/tmp/apt-show-versions > for i in /unknown 'newer than version in archive' \ > 'No available version in archive'; do echo; echo ======$i;\ > fgrep "$i" /tmp/apt-show-versions; done The appropriate way to deal with this would seem to be to use the matcher for obsolete packages, along with appropriately clever code to filter out dpkg-repacked packages. Unfortunately, this matcher does not exist. That might be a good wishlist item. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
