I'd highly appreciate if there is an option for apt-get that will make apt-get print out the changes between the currently installed version and the version to be installed.
Isn't apt-listchanges what you are looking for ? $ apt-cache show apt-listchanges ... Description: Display change history from .deb archives apt-listchanges is a tool to show what has been changed in a new version of a Debian package, as compared to the version currently installed on the system. It does this by extracting the relevant entries from the Debian changelog file, and the NEWS.Debian file. . It can be run on several .deb archives at a time to get a list of all of the changes that would be effected by installing or upgrading a group of packages. It can be configured to do this automatically during upgrades using apt.
