12 outdated identifies in a debian package repository those packages that
13 are not installable with respect to that repository by the their inter-
14 package relationships (dependencies, conflicts, ...), and that
15 furthermore cannot become installable (in the current version) how
16 matter how the rest of the repository evolves. This means that this
17 package has to be updated in the repository to ever become installable
18 again.

21 Input files have to contain stanzas in the format of deb-control(5),
22 separated by one blank line. For instance, the Packages files as found
23 on a Debian mirror server, or in the directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ of a
24 Debian system, are suitable as input. The repository used in the
25 analysis consists of the union of all packages from the input files.
