But you can dig deeper if you want to. Xubuntu creates their own "xubuntu"
meta packages. These packages serve a dual-role of both pulling in Xfce
packages and defining the Xubuntu "brand".
- Looking at the Xfce packages will give you the version of xfce
- Looking at the Xubuntu packages will give you the version of xubuntu.
So try searching for Xubuntu instead.
There is a hidden version number if you want to dive into the repo. Use
apt-cache to search for the xubuntu-desktop package. This is one of the
highest level Xubuntu packages and will trigger installation of everything
from xubuntu-wallapapers to xubunt-default-settings.
$ apt-cache search xubuntu-desktop
There's also "apt-get info" if you want a brief description of a given
package... but don't quote me on that. It's easier just to look it up on
packages.ubuntu.com
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/xubuntu-desktop
I'm not sure what their methodology is for the version number of
