Do I have any obsolete qt packages?
<code>
rajulocal@hogwarts ~ % apt list "?obsolete" | grep qt
...
qml-module-qtquick-controls-styles-breeze/now 4:5.14.5-1 amd64 [installed,local]
qtcore4-l10n/now 4:4.8.7+dfsg-18+deb10u1 all [installed,local]
</code>

purged both qtcore4-l10n, qml-module-qtquick-controls-styles-breeze

How many obsolete packages are on my system at the moment?
<code>
rajulocal@hogwarts ~ % date
Sun Feb  4 12:05:22 PM EST 2024
rajulocal@hogwarts ~ % apt list -- '?obsolete' 2>/dev/null | wc -l
145
