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

[Eder Gobbi]

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
