The Debian English-language backports wiki FAQ suggests (to find all backported packages on a given machine): https://backports.debian.org/FAQ/ dpkg -l |awk '/^ii/ && $3 ~ /bpo[7-9]/ {print $2}' (works here--outputs the package name without version) aptitude search '?narrow(?version(CURRENT),?origin(Debian Backports))'-F '%100p' (produces no output here though I have one backported package). The French (ah, the French) backports FAQ suggests: https://wiki.debian.org/fr/Backports dpkg-query -W | grep ~bpo (works here--outputs package + version) Then there is the '/var/log/apt/history.log' also, which might be of great utility in this affair. -- "Three prisoners were locked in a cell.
