apt-cache madison ...
apt-cache's madison command attempts to mimic the output format and
a subset of the functionality of the Debian archive management tool,
madison. It displays available versions of a package in a tabular
format. Unlike the original madison, it can only display information for
the architecture for which APT has retrieved package lists
(APT::Architecture).


Don't you think the list will be able to read the apt-cache manpage? (;

Many things in plain sight are overlooked or skimmed over, thats how I
missed it. Some folks never have ever read all the man pages on their
system or all the docs in /usr/share/docs. If you have, then I'd say
youre in the minority and very luck and have a lot of time.
