You may be able to use something along the following lines: $ aptitude search '?narrow(~i~n(kde|qt|plasma),!~V4:14.0.5-0)' "From all the available versions of all packages, narrow the selection down to installed ones (the ~i term) with names containing kde or qt or plasma (the ~nregex term), and from those filter those whose version does not match the current Trinity release version." The results marked with A in the second column were automatically installed so focus on any that don't have this marker. "aptitude why <package>" may help here. Hope this helps, aptitude search terms can be tricky but are also pretty powerful.
