Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: wishlist
I'd like to see apt-cache support two new commands, currentver and
newver. Both commands would take a list of packages, and print
the following on stdout:
packagename: version
for each package parameter. "version" should be the version that
is either currently installed (for currentver) or would be installed
by apt-get install packagename (for newver).
I've started looking at the source, and may be able to add this myself;
if I do get it done, i'll reply to this bug with a patch. If you think
I'm doing this in the wrong place, please let me know where it would
be more appropriate.

Yes, it does, and I've been using it for a while now.
