A succinct listing can be had from "wajig snapshot" which outputs "package=version": wajig snapshot | egrep bash bash=4.1-3 bash-completion=1:1.2-3 bash-doc=4.1-3 To use "-" as a delimiter you could do e.g. wajig snapshot | tr = - | egrep bash bash-4.1-3 bash-completion-1:1.2-3 bash-doc-4.1-3 -- Cheers, Clive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
