apt-get -- How to find version info of an installed module?

[CqCn]

Hi,

I looked thru man page of the apt-get installed on my ShPg.  I am very new to apt-get.  I cannot find out how to do the following:

A.  How do I find the full version of any installed module?

B.  How do I find the full list of all the installed modules?

C.  How do I find if a module is available for install, without actually installing it?

D.  How do I find the full list of all the available modules from all the feeds already set in my config?

Thank you very much,

I would use the aptitude command.

Those are debian/ubuntu basics... Multiple ways to get a result, this is what i would use

A.  How do I find the full version of any installed module?

dpkg -l <packagename>

B.  How do I find the full list of all the installed modules?

dpkg -l |grep '^ii'

C.  How do I find if a module is available for install, without actually installing it?

apt-cache search <somestring>
apt-cache show <packagename>

D.  How do I find the full list of all the available modules from all the feeds already set in my config?

apt-cache dumpavail
