Re: List packages from non-default repositories

$ apt list '~i' | grep -v '/testing'

show the same packages, correctly, but
$ apt list '~i!~Atesting'
is missing some packages.
It is the reason why I added '?narrow'. Try
apt list '?any-version(~i!~A^testing)'
For me it is not intuitive that the outer '?any-version()' modifies
result of the inner '?and()'.
Actually the expression gives *some* upgradable packages in addition,
but not all of them. For the stable release installed libc6 version is
available from bookworm/main, but thunderbird-102 has been wiped from
bookworm-security, so
apt list '?narrow(~i, ~n"^(thunderbird|libc6)$", !~A^stable)'
Listing... Done
thunderbird/stable-security 1:115.3.1-1~deb12u1 amd64 [upgradable from:
1:102.15.1-1~deb12u1]
N: There are 3 additional versions. Please use the '-a' switch to see them.
skips libc6 however it can be upgraded
apt list '~U~n"^(thunderbird|libc6)$"'
Listing... Done
libc6/stable-security 2.36-9+deb12u3 amd64 [upgradable from: 2.36-9+deb12u1]
thunderbird/stable-security 1:115.3.1-1~deb12u1 amd64 [upgradable from:
1:102.15.1-1~deb12u1]
It took some time for me to figure out what is the difference.
apt policy libc6 thunderbird
libc6:
Installed: 2.36-9+deb12u1
Candidate: 2.36-9+deb12u3
Version table:
2.37-10 100

*** 2.36-9+deb12u1 500

So either ", !~U" should be added inside "?narrow()" or "| ~U" outside
of it, depending on desired result in respect to upgradable packages.
