So "local" would be just another word for "obsolete" ?

Indeed, the output of

  apt list '?installed !?obsolete' | grep local

shows only some packages with "locale" in their name, but none with
"local" in the []-brackets. On the other hand

  apt list '?installed ?obsolete' | grep -v 'local]$'

shows no packages, i.e. all lines of obsolete packages end by "local]".


Nevertheless it would be nice to find documentation about this kind of
info in the output of "apt list".


Have a nice day :)
