Hello. Mark D. Hansen:
> How can I find out what version of a package > I have currently installed (e.g., glibc)? `apt-cache policy libc6` This is the only thing I use on a daily basis and didn't find out how to do with aptitude (in the commandline). All I came up with is something like [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aptitude search libc6 -F "%p %v %V" libapt-inst-libc6.3-5-1.0 <none> <none> libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3 <none> <none> libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.5 <none> <none> libc6 2.3.2.ds1- 2.3.2.ds1- libc6-bin <none> <none> libc6-dbg <none> 2.3.2.ds1- libc6-dev <none> 2.3.2.ds1- libc6-doc <none> <none> libc6-i686 <none> 2.3.2.ds1- libc6-pic <none> 2.3.2.ds1- libc6-prof <none> 2.3.2.ds1- libc6.1 <none> <none> libc6.1-dbg <none> <none> libc6.1-dev <none> <none> libc6.1-pic <none> <none> ...which is dirty, ugly and (in the case of glibc) doesn't work.
