I've searched unsuccessfully for a *method* to **list** all of the upgrades available from Debian's backports (specifically
bullseye-backports
):
* I've added deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main contrib non-free
to /etc/apt/sources.list
.
* I've run sudo apt update
successfully
* I've run sudo apt list --upgradeable bullseye-backports
with an "empty" result
* I've run sudo apt list --upgradeable -t bullseye-backports
; got an error
* I've run sudo apt -t bullseye-backports upgrade
; I get a list of NEW packages to be installed, and a list of EXISTING packages to be upgraded, and a [Y/n]
option to proceed with the entire lot.
Is there no way to simply ***list*** the upgrade-able packages from bullseye-backports
?
