Re: Get a list of obsoleted packages

Hi,

I use to get the list of obsoleted packages using aptitude. Now that I'm
planning to remove aptitude, what are the alternatives?


obsolete = not up to date = need to be upgraded
=>
apt-get update # update the package informations
apt-get -s upgrade # will show the list of packages that would need to be upgraded but would do nothing
