  • Trisquel 7 has aptitude installed by default, but the aptitude command you suggested gave no output. The second command produced: "nodejs: Installed: (none) Candidate: 8.17.0-1nodesource1 Version table: 8.17.0-1nodesource1 500 500 deb.nodesource.com/node_8.x xenial/main i386 Packages" ... as well as some other packages from Trisquel repos.

  • The “Origins” tab shows where packages are available from now, it doesn’t show where packages were installed from. Commented May 22, 2020 at 8:58
  • If the first aptitude command produced nothing, that means that you have removed all packages which were installed from the Node repositories. Commented May 22, 2020 at 8:59
  • But doesn't that contradict the output of the second command? Commented May 22, 2020 at 9:03
  • No, because the output of the second command says that the nodejs package isn’t installed (“Installed: (none)”). It’s available from the Node repository, but it’s not installed, so the first command doesn’t show it (it only shows installed packages available from the Node repository).
