It's no active notification, but aptitude lists all installed packages that aren't in any distribution included in sources.list under "Obsolete and Locally Created Packages". Verifying that this doesn't include any packages that I expect there (like locally compiled kernel module packages) is my way of checking for removed packages. -- Andreas Bombe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG key 0x04880A44 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
