    Hi all!

    I'm going to make a clean install of Sarge on my new hard drive, and the
    idea was to use dpkg --get-selections to get what I had on the old.

    However, I bet I have lots of woody-era, even potato perhaps, software
    on that old disk, and I only know how I can get rid of libraries that
    nothing depends on (deborphan/orphaner). Presumably, I don't need
    gcc-2.95 or gcc-3.0 anymore, for example.

    Is there any way I can list this kind of old packages?

    Cheers

    Kjetil
