Hello Richard,
{hopefully with a clearer head and a more stable connection...}
I wonder if it had specific implications "once upon a time" and
now means nothing more than the empty box i.e "Not installed".
It means /exactly/ what the help display says. It's a *new* package in
the repo. Even though you installed from DVD, the standard install
process goes online to fetch updated packages. When the install
finishes, you will already have that online repo added to your
sources.list file. If you don't want to use that repo, simply disable
it in Synaptic.
Yes, BUT <chuckle;>
The reason I do my installs from DVDs is that I have limited
bandwidth.
The machine in question physically has NO internet connectivity
at all.
If it is significant, the DVD set is 8.6.0 .
If it has NO internet connectivity at all, how does it know whether there are
any updates?
*THAT* is my question.
The imfamous test machine has NEVER been connected to the internet.
The only repository it has ever seen is DVD 1 of 13 of Debian
8.6.0 ;!
Or are you using a new DVD set, and it is saying that there are
new packages on this DVD set from the DVD set you used to do the
installation?
Same old DVD.
Whatever repositories you use, they now have in at least one uninstalled
package that was not there before. Even allowing for the pond, I can't see
why "new uninstalled" is difficult to understand. :-/
