From "man fink":
...
list [package...]
This command produces a list of available packages, listing
instal-
lation status, the latest version and a short description. If you
call it without parameters, it will list all available
packages. If
you pass one or more package names, fink will list only those
pack-
ages that match the given names. You can use shell globs (? and *
wildcards); if you do not, then the pattern is searched as a sub-
string.
The first column displays the installation state with the
following
meanings:
not installed
i latest version is installed
(i) some version is installed, but a newer version is
available
*i* the version which is installed is more recent
than the
newest version currently available
p a virtual package provided by a package that is
installed
