NAME


apt-show-versions - Lists available package versions with distribution

DESCRIPTION


apt-show-versions parses the dpkg status file and the APT lists for the installed and
available package versions and distribution and shows upgrade options within the specific
distribution of the selected package.

This is really useful if you have a mixed stable/testing environment and want to list all
packages which are from testing and can be upgraded in testing.

apt-show-versions uses caching for the status information of installed and available
packages. If you run apt-show-versions as root the cache is updated as needed. If you run
as non-root uses the newest available information, but can't update the cache. If you run
as root with the option -i the cache is initialized or updated only.

SYNOPSIS


apt-show-versions [-h] [[-p] package name] [-a] [-b]

OPTIONS


If you don't give any options the status of all installed packages is printed.

-p package, --package=package
Print available and installed versions for specified package. You can also specify a
package name without the option -p. If -p and a package name are missing, all
installed packages are displayed.

-r, --regex
interpret package from option -p as a regex.

-R, --regex-all
like --regex, but also show matching packages which are not installed

-u, --upgradeable
Print only upgradeable packages

-a, --allversions
Print all available versions of the selected packages

-b, --brief
Print only package_name/distribution for upgradeable packages

-v, --verbose
Prints out messages about which package files are parsed.

-V, --version
Prints out version of apt-show-versions

-i, --initialize
Initialize or update package cache only (as root). Do this every time when the status
of the installed or available packages has changed. Initialization is done
automatically on installation of the package and via a cron.daily job.

-stf file, --status-file=file
Use file as the dpkg status file instead of /var/lib/dpkg/status

-ld directory, --list-dir=directory
Use directory as path to apt's list files instead of /var/state/apt/lists/ or
/var/lib/apt/lists/

-h, --help
Prints out command-line help.

apt-show-versions -u

To get a list of all available versions of libc6:

apt-show-versions -a -p libc6
