Permanent Fave: apt-show-versions -u (Was: help in purging old packages)

The necessary reason for that is because I'm running at the speed of dialup. You have to control what happens when.. :) Thanks to apt-show-versions, my laptop now runs consistently with: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. k/t to Bob one more time for that great lead. It might have been years, if ever, that I stumbled upon it otherwise.

You could visually flip through then toggle (via clicking checkboxes) what packages to upgrade. Moving (permanently) to command line to perform those actions, I lost that ability and just never pursued whether it even existed in that [realm]. All you'd see there was yadda number of packages need upgraded without knowing what all they were. So I just installed your suggested apt-show-versions then ran the command you (also) suggested. Zip. Blank. Zero. Yay! Then I got to thinking. Been seeing things about things being frozen and other about mirrors playing catchup *TODAY* so I ran apt-get update then ran apt-show-versions again. 40. All presented in the format of: apt/wheezy upgradeable from 0.9.7.9+deb7u6 to 0.9.7.9+deb7u7 And as a text list that I can see as a whole to be able to pick through. That matters tremendously because this is all being done on dialup. You only get to do basically one notable action at a time so you have to orchestrate accordingly to get the most bang out of time spent in front of the screen..

Be carefull, what it wants do deinstall. However, I am using it regularly and it did not deinstall accidently a package, I did not want to be deinstalled. Ok, might be, I was lucky.

Well, you could have just asked :-) By the way, checking for vulnerabilities based on banners is probably not the best way to do it, unless you always run the pristine upstream version. The reason is that Debian patches lots of things. If you are interested in making sure your machine is secure, then your best bet is to go ahead and subscribe to debian-security-announce (and debian-security if you are that interested) and watch for DSAs (Debian Security Announcements) to come out.

Old packages
Hello group, Where can I find old version of packages? I use a Matrox P750 video card and the oldest xorg version supported is 6.8.2. The upgrade installed 6.9.0 which is to recent for the Matrox driver therefore I need to downgrade xserver-xorg.

I am looking for X includes to build Kapital, since the Debian package they offer is for Woody. I thought they might be in the xlibs-dev package.

Yes, the pool is structured by source package name. However you could just have gone to the main archive, since xfree86 4.1.0-17 is still in testing.

Old packages?
Hi! Is there any place where one can download not-most-recent versions of unstable packages? Yours, Rüdiger. -- A No uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a Yes merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble. -- Mahatma Ghandi

Not really, although some not-quite-recent versions might be kept around due to being the versions in testing.

Re: Old packages between upgrades
Unfortunately, it's hard to catch those old libraries and cruft. I know at least two programs that are helpful. 'deborphan' and 'cruft'. I've had good luck with deborphan identifying unused libs. Careful though, just don't remove everything it lists ;) I haven't really used cruft ...
