The main reason I would like to do this is for third-party repositories, in particular, backports. The problematic packages are from backports which have subsequently disappeared. I would like to be able to identify these, remove the ones I am worried about, and find an alternative. Here the original repository may still exist, but be obsolete, or it may have been removed completely. In the latter case, maintaining the repository won't help, since APT will delete the file when it sees that the source is gone. Thank you, Steven Murdoch. -- w: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/sjm217/
