apt-get installation logs (in --dry-run mode) show lines like: ... Inst libvncclient1 (0.9.14+dfsg-1 Debian:12.4/stable [amd64]) Inst vlc-bin (3.0.20-0+deb12u1 Debian:12.4/stable [amd64]) Inst vlc-plugin-qt (3.0.20-0+deb12u1 Debian:12.4/stable [amd64]) ... you can get most parts of the suffix: "Debian:12.4/stable [amd64]", in various way except the ".4" and the "stable" parts.
How could you get, list those ".4" and "stable" attributes prior to running apt-get? lbrtchx
