Re: Apt-get: how to know what version will be installed?

You'll use:

#dpkg -l

This waill listen all programs and your versions..
You can use too

#dpkg -l | grep name_program

Example:

#dpkg -l | grep pidgin
ii pidgin
1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1 graphical multi-protocol instant
messaging c
ii pidgin-data
1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1 multi-protocol instant messaging
client - da
ii pidgin-otr
3.2.0-1 Off-the-Record Messaging plugin for
pidgin

Before installing an application with apt-get, I would like to check
which version will be installed. How does one do that?

Thanks in advance.
