So, when I do

$ apt-cache show foo

I see more than one foo package. Can I use apt-cache to just show the most current package -- or really, the package that would get installed with apt-get install foo?


I hope this flu didn't make me miss something really obvious in the man page for apt-cache.

Thanks,


Not exactly apt-cache, but, if you install grep-dctrl, 'grep-available -PX foo' should give you the output that you want.
