apt-installed-status
apt-installed-status is a Debian tool that determines for installed packages from which apt repository they come.
Introduction
If you use a lot of repositories, it is not always clear which package you installed from which repository. This tool helps you determine that. It can also show you which packages are not in any of your current apt repositories.
To determine which repository a package is from, the package name, its version and its architecture are examined.
This tool will only work properly if you have installed all pending updates (apt-get dist-upgrade should show no pending packages).
Example usage
# List all installed packages and the repository the installed version is found in
apt-installed-status
# List all repositories with the string `non-free' in it
apt-installed-status -L -A non-free
# List all installed packages that are from a repository with the string `non-free' in it.
# List the repository each package is found in too.
apt-installed-status -l -A non-free
# List all installed packages that are not from a repository with the string `wheezy' in it.
apt-installed-status -X wheezy
