One good way, if you know kind of what you are looking for is dpkg -l

For example:

($ ~)-> dpkg -l *samba*
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
|
Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
pn  gtksamba       <none>         (no description available)
pn  gtksamba-gnome <none>         (no description available)
ii  samba          2.0.6-5        A LanManager like file and printer server fo
ii  samba-common   2.0.6-5        Samba common files used by both the server a
pn  samba-doc      <none>         (no description available)

in this case, it doesn't tell you everything, but it's a good start.

Good luck,
