So "local" would be just another word for "obsolete" ? Indeed, the output of apt list '?installed !?obsolete' | grep local shows only some packages with "locale" in their name, but none with "local" in the []-brackets. On the other hand apt list '?installed ?obsolete' | grep -v 'local]$' shows no packages, i.e. all lines of obsolete packages end by "local]". Nevertheless it would be nice to find documentation about this kind of info in the output of "apt list". Have a nice day :) Thomas
