I am confused by the meaning of "obsolete and locally installed" as a category in Synaptic. Just what does this category mean? The installed and latest versions of "obsolete and locally installed" software are the same. Furthermore they all seem to be very important required packages. Thanks to anyone who can clarify.
Can you provide a better description of where this term "obsolete and locally installed" is found in synaptic. Include e.g. all the steps involved to come to the right the dialogue that shows the term.
Using Synaptic 0.47: When the "Show:" button has "All Packages" or "Reduced View" selected, there are three nodes, i.e. three categories, displayed under "Package": Installed, Not Installed and Obsolete and locally installed. When the "Show: button has "Installed" selected, there are two nodes displayed: Installed and Obsolete and locally installed. -- "Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?
