Ah: in the actual as against simulation phase, the terminal prints a list of downgraded packages. Still: (1) in the simulation phase, one does not know that that list will occur; (2) one still has to capture the take the relevant output from the terminal.
Thank you for the upgrade tool.
That tool wanted to downgrade foreign packages. Yet, it seemed to offer no way of generating a record of downgraded packages. And one might well wants such a record.
I resorted to a screenshot - or rather to three screenshots. For, at least on the computer I was using (which meets Cinnamon's recommended screen size) I could not even get the list of downgraded packages to display in such a way that a single screenshot would do the job. Here is the first of those screenshots:
Cf. #93.
The following too throws slightly. Upon pressing 'fix', one sees a screen that says, for some time, 'Looking for foreign packages'. Did the program try to downgrade? That is, is it now re-checking? Ah: judging by the terminal output, it is. Or rather: judging by that output, right now the downgrade is in progress. And, now, the terminal is doing an 'orphan' check - except that, actually, the GUI window wants my attention (though I had to bring up that window in order to determine that fact).
EDIT: Should mintupgrade not pin the terminal window to one side of the screen, and the GUI to the other?
