Listing installed packages in Debian Sarge

[Ian Petersen]

I had to do this on my Ubuntu system.  I forget the command line I
used, but I first installed apt-show-versions.  When you run it, it'll
give you a list of all installed packages along with the repository it
came from, and the version that's installed.
