Those are packages which you have built yourself (local) or which are no longer in the repositories listed in /etc/apt/sources.list, or which are in a repository which you have removed from that list (obsolete in both cases). > How can I remove that status message? Only by restoring the lines which you removed from /etc/apt/sources.list, if that was the case. What are the packages? Do you still need them? Are any of them listed in the output of the 'deborphan' command? -- Liam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
