Description-en: utility for tracking non-official package versions
apt-forktracer tries to alleviate the problem that APT stops tracking official
versions of a package after you pin it or install a newer version.
.
apt-forktracer displays a list of packages which are in an inconsistent state,
or whose installed version is different than the newest official one. You can
choose to ignore certain packages - if they match certain criteria - using
a configuration file.
