MFenanybody here good with python-apt21:46
MFeni'm writing a script for system recovery - it pulls your installed package list, then groups it by Canonical, Third-Party or manual deb21:46
MFenthen formats it and prints it out suitable for dpkg --set-selections and manual installation21:46
MFenthis is the script: http://pastebin.com/m11e4954821:47
MFeni've got some packages that i know for a fact were installed from a third-party apt, yet i can't find any information in their records to indicate that was the case21:48
MFenthus, they are currently being listed in the output as 'manual deb' when i know they were installed with apt21:48
MFenline 80 for reference.21:48
MFenanyone?21:49
MFenfrom a given package name, is there any way to tell what apt archive it came from? any API or command-line tool available?22:38
superm1apt-cache policy PACKAGE22:39
MFensuperm1: thanks. i have one that i think is wrong, any idea how that could happen?22:40
superm1if you had a third party repo turned on for a bit 22:41
MFenthe package is isight-firmware-tools and i installed it from a mactel ppa22:41
MFenwell, the repo is still turned on22:41
MFenthe only version it shows is /var/lib/dpkg/status22:42
superm1then run an apt-get update to update your repo lists22:42
MFenyeah, i just did, still says that :-/22:43
MFenmaybe the repo recently changed and i didn't notice22:43
superm1not really discussion for #ubuntu-x however22:46
superm1you're better off in #ubuntu or a similar channel22:46
MFenwhat's the difference?22:47
jcristauthe difference is it's off-topic here22:47
superm1this channel is for discussion of the X server and related drivers, that's a more general topic 22:47
MFenoh, x server. k, thanks22:48
