apt can look for versions available in the repositories that you have retrieved (by specifying the repos in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ). To search for versions available in repositories that you have *not* enabled, you need to do a network search of packages.debian.org. For example: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=firefox However, this returns an HTML page, not a simple list. -dsr-
