Re: How safely to stop using backports repo?
Hello,
i use aptitude, i would do it this way:
- call aptitude and look up, if you have a section named "Obsolete and
Locally Created Packages". Normaly this section should not be visible as
its empty
- remove (better comment out) the backports-line in /etc/apt/sources.list
- now do an update in aptitude and look, what's new in the section
"Obsolete and Locally Created Packages". For every such package try to
downgrade to a version from your remaining apt-sources.
That way you should have a good control over the changes. If you have
nothing left in the obsolete-section, you are done. If you want to leave
there something, you should check if there is a reasonable reason to do
so, as you have to care for security holes, bugfixes, updates there by
yourself.
my 2c,

Thank You for Your re
You say "usually"... Then, I can miss a package and that one will
remain a breach in my system... No other tracking ideas?
