So, your request is to add a saw-blade to a hammer just in case you might have a need for tree chopping with policy some day? If you are about details about specific versions, I would suggest using e.g. "apt show foo=version" or "apt show foo" (= that displays only info about the candidate) or "apt show foo/now" (= currently installed). Or go crazy with some apt-patterns(8). Or, you use "apt-cache show foo" (for info about all versions) and select with some (dctrl-)grep'ing. > […] > Fax mentis incendium gloriæ culpum et cetera, et cetera... > > Memor bis punitor delicatum! Omnia dicta fortiora si dicta Latina.¹ I wasn't quiet sure if you are serious or not, but I see now that you are indeed just trying to troll. Very funny. Did I pass the test now? Can't wait for my life time supply of chocolate, Mr. Wonka.
