PROGRAM:
NAME
dose-outdated - detect uninstallable packages due to obsolete dependencies
SYNOPSIS
dose-outdated [option] ... file ...
DESCRIPTION
dose-outdated identifies in a debian package repository those packages that are not
installable with respect to that repository by the their inter-package relationships
(dependencies, conflicts, ...), and that furthermore cannot become installable (in the
current version) how matter how the rest of the repository evolves. This means that this
package has to be updated in the repository to ever become installable again.
Input Specification
Input files have to contain stanzas in the format of deb-control(5), separated by one
blank line. For instance, the Packages files as found on a Debian mirror server, or in the
directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ of a Debian system, are suitable as input. The repository
used in the analysis consists of the union of all packages from the input files.
Output Specification
The output of dose-outdated is in the YAML format.
