A question about terminology, I'm forwarding the question:

Using Synaptic 0.47:
When the "Show:" button has "All Packages" or "Reduced View" selected,
there are three nodes, i.e. three categories, displayed under
"Package": Installed, Not Installed and Obsolete and locally installed.
When the "Show: button has "Installed" selected, there are two nodes
displayed: Installed and Obsolete and locally installed.

The view option must be set to "status tree" as well.
I agree with the questioner that in my case too, the packages are not obsolete
at all, they are just installed without being part of a repository! I think
that the term obsolete is not correct.
