Food for Thought

We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the world -- no longer a Government of free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men.

— US President Woodrow Wilson

Pining: command to list unstable packages?

Submitted by Dvorzhetsky on Mon, 2007-12-03 09:03.

Hello,

I use a /etc/apt/preferences file to pick some packages from sid on my
lenny setup.
Is there a command to list the packages that comes from sid on my
system?

Thank you.

Regards
