4     .SH NAME
5     apt-installed-status \- get the repository an installed package comes from
6     .SH SYNOPSIS
7     apt-installed-status [ \fIOPTION ...\fR ]
8     .SH DESCRIPTION
9     apt-installed-status determines for installed packages from which apt repository they come.
10     .PP
11     If you use a lot of repositories, it is not always clear which package you installed from which repository. This tool helps you determine that. It can also show you which packages are not in any of your current apt repositories.
12     .PP
13     To determine which repository a package is from, the package name, its version and its architecture are examined.
14     .PP
15     This tool will only work properly if you have installed all pending updates (
16     .B apt-get dist-upgrade
17     should show no pending packages).
18     .SH OPTIONS
19     Without options, a list of all installed packages is displayed with the archives they are found in.
20     .PP
21     \fB\-V\fR, \fB--version\fR

24     .RE
25     .PP
26     \fB\-h\fR, \fB--help\fR

29     .RE
30     .PP
31     \fB-o\fR
32     .RS 4
33     Show all orphans: those packages that are not found in any of the current apt archives. Note that matching will be done on package name, version number and architecture: if you have pending package updates waiting, packages may be designed as orphans because the exact version is not found anymore.
34     .RE
35     .PP
36     \fB-a\fR \fIARCHIVES\fR
37     .RS 4
38     Show all packages that are \fIonly\fR in these archives. Archives should be complete names (as shown by calling this tool without arguments) and should be separated by commas.
