I think you need 'apt-cache policy':
$ apt-cache policy xpdf
xpdf:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.00-3.2
Version Table:
1.00-3.2 0
500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages
1.00-3.1 0
500 http://http.us.debian.org stable/main Packages
This indicates that xpdf is not installed and the available versions
are 1.00-3.1 (from Debian main) and 1.00-3.2 (from Debian security
main). If one were installed, its version number would be followed
by ***. I hope this helps.
