Hi, Synaptic displays all packages in the "status" overview as one of "auto removable", "local or obsolete" and "manual". But I do not have any packages locally or manually installed: I always use Synaptic or apt-get to do so. Also, removing some of the "auto removable" would result in removing applications and libraries that are not marked as "auto removable". The same applies tot "local or obsolete": it results in a cascaded removal of packages.
Does Synaptic display the wrong status? Or do the descriptions not cover the meaning? Can I check somehow what the status of a packed is outside Synaptic? I am running Debian Testing AMD64, latest updates as for today applied. TIA -- Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.
