How can I list all package names and their versions available from a specific package source (official repositories, PPAs or other repositories) ?

Also, how can I filter only the installed packages from that list?
If one version of a package is available from the queried source, but the installed version is from anywhere else, it should not appear in the output.

You've done it again! This is like the 3rd time you've posted a question I've been meaning to post for a while! :D – May 10 '16 at 19:30
Not sure about the first question but for the last question this might help. – 7_R3X May 10 '16 at 19:35
@7_R3X No, I don't care to which version a package would get upgraded, I only want to get a list of packages that is currently installed from a specific software source. – Byte Commander May 10 '16 at 19:36
@ByteCommander : How about you comment all other repos in source.list, apt-get update and then apt-cache dump ? It should work as dump lists all the packages available. Not sure though. – 7_R3X May 10 '16 at 20:00

@muru: Yes, I thought this question looked familiar! I think I didn't ask myself because I found those. – May 10 '16 at 21:48

@muru: Your linked question only deals with installed packages from that source, not all packages available from it. – David Foerster May 12 '16 at 14:53
@DavidFoerster the command line methods are rather easily extended. – muru May 12 '16 at 15:49
How about apt list --installed | grep wily-security ? – Ron May 14 '16 at 14:34
