Synaptic not showing up

[debiman]

find what exactly?

dependencies that came from PPA and that have not been replaced.

that's really, really difficult and involves a lot more work than just fixing the sources. good luck.
that's why it's called a frankendebian - it might still be walking, but really it is dead already.

how do I find those ?

Try

Code: Select all

aptitude search ~Axenial | grep ^i

Code: Select all

aptitude search ~Axenial | grep ^i

didn't find anything.

How about

Code: Select all

aptitude search “!?origin(debian)" | grep ^i

EDIT: and maybe try adding double quotes around the search term in my first suggestion.

How about

Code: Select all

aptitude search “!?origin(debian)" | grep ^i

this results in:

-bash: !?origin(debian)" | grep ^i: event not found

EDIT: and maybe try adding double quotes around the search term in my first suggestion.

did not help either, sorry

on the other hand, everything will disappear with update.
certainly, when Buster comes

Code: Select all

-bash: !?origin(debian)" | grep ^i: event not found

Hmmm, bash wants single quotes but mksh is fine with double quotes:

Code: Select all

empty@hegel:~ $ aptitude search "!?origin(debian)" | grep ^i
i  mitsuba - Mitsuba renderer
i  sway - tiling window manager for Wayland
empty@hegel:~ $ bash
empty@hegel:~$ aptitude search "!?origin(debian)" | grep ^i
bash: !?origin(debian)" | grep ^i: event not found
empty@hegel:~$ aptitude search '!?origin(debian)' | grep ^i
i  mitsuba - Mitsuba renderer
i  sway - tiling window manager for Wayland
empty@hegel:~$

this is not getting anywhere, I think

fred44nl@Debian:~$ aptitude search '!?origin(debian)' | grep ^i
i plexmediaserver - Plex organizes all of your personal media so you can easily access and enjoy it.

so, the only thing from debian is plex ??

Code: Select all

 aptitude search '!?origin(xenial)' | grep ^i

this give hundreds results.

The only thing not from Debian is plex: the exclamation mark reverses the meaning of the search term

I wouldn't trust that myself though: I don't know what I'm doing here, I've never tried to fix a FrankenDebian.

A re-install is the only way to be sure.

[fred44nl]

well, ok, thanks

[None1975]

well, ok, thanks

I think the only way out is in this case- clean reinstall.
