Dear developers,

I found that the source code is the same for xulrunner-1.9 and
xulrunner-1.9.1 on gNewSense metad:

  $ apt-get source xulrunner-1.9

gives the same file (xulrunner-1.9.1.4-2) as:

  $ apt-get source xulrunner-1.9.1

although the binary versions are different:

  $ apt-cache show xulrunner-1.9 | grep -i version
  Version: 1.9.0.19-6
  Version: 1.9.0.19-3

  $ apt-cache show xulrunner-1.9.1 | grep -i version
  Version: 1.9.1.4-2

How can this be possible?

(apt-cache show xulrunner-1.9 ; apt-cache show xulrunner-1.9.1) | egrep "Package|Source"

will show you that the source package of both is called "xulrunner". Apt-get's man page says that it will get "the newest available version of that source package", thus the newest version of 1.9.1.

Beside, how do I know which version of xulrunner-1.9 is installed on my
system: 1.9.0.19-6 or 1.9.0.19-3?

Either

apt-cache policy xulrunner-1.9 xulrunner-1.9.1

or lines starting with "ii" in

dpkg -l '*xulrunner*'
