try something like this

aptitude -F ‘%p' search '~i' | while read x; do aptitude --disable-columns  versions '^'"$x"'$'; done

This will give you a list of all installed packages with the repositories they are available from.

Here’s a sample

rbthomas@monk:~$ aptitude -F '%p' search '~i' | grep openocd | while read x; do aptitude --disable-columns  versions '^'"$x"'$'; done
Package openocd:                          
ih 0.3.1-1  100
ph 0.8.0-4 stable 500

On this machine, I have an ancient version (0.3.1-1) of openocd installed that is not available in the stable repo.  There is also a version (0.8.0-4) available from the stable repo that does not work in my environment, so I have the older version “held”.

This is indicated by the fact that there is no repo in the line beginning with “ih”.

A small awk or python script processing the output of the above commands should give you what you want.

Enjoy!
Rick
