How do you find packages that are no longer in the repos?
When a package is dropped from the Arch repos, it sits on your system but no longer gets updates. This could be a security risk. So is there a way to search for such packages?
(I asked myself this question after discovering that Anki has apparently disappeared from [community]).

`pacman -Qm` will list all installed packages not in the repos. This will also include locally built and AUR packages, but you should recognize those.

Thanks! In addition, yaourt also supports "-Qm" and is able to distinguish local packages from AUR packages.
