Ubuntu/Debian: Show list of available versions of a specific package
- by karl93
Sorry, this might be a beginner question:
How can I list all available versions of specific package?
I know with
apt-get install myPackage=1.2.3
a specific version could be installed.
And with
apt-show-version -a myPackage
I would get a list of versions that are known by the system.
But how getting a list of all available versions.
I think that isn't possible using the apt tools because they are
restricted to configured repositories.
So what is the way to go? Some web-repositories? What is the recommondation for Ubuntu 8.04?
