Re: apt-cache show (only newest package)

This laptop was installed as a Woody, then it went through testing and now unstable. I've got sources for all in sources.list.

So, when I do $ apt-cache show foo I see more than one foo package. Can I use apt-cache to just show the most current package -- or really, the package that would get installed with apt-get install foo?

I think

$  apt-cache policy foo

might be what you're looking for...
