That information is not tracked. What is tracked is "the package versions known to be available from each registered repository" and "the package versions which are installed". Whether the package version that is installed came from one of the registered repositories, much less whether it was installed from that repository, is not tracked. Unless I'm much mistaken, if you installed one package manually (i.e., not as a dependency) from a repository and another package locally via 'dpkg -i', the installation state of those two packages will look the same. The system does not track anything which would let it tell you where the package came from; at most, if the installed version of a package is available from a currently-registered repository, it may be able to tell you where you could get that package from again. It's entirely probable that there is no way to identify the set of packages you're interested in, short of a combination of manual archaeology in local log files (and the local apt package cache) and relying on your own memory. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
