hi list
Assume I have installed gcc-4.1 with version 4.1.2-15, and some
application need gcc with version greater than 4.1.2-18. How can I check
and compare the installed gcc version in debian way then decide install
the new version or not? I have read the debian policy manual, but no
version compare tool or command is mentioned.
If you want to see the changes between the versions, you can open
aptitude, select the gcc-4.1 package and press 'C' (or was it a
lowercase 'c'?) to view the changelog of the package. This hopefully
locate changelog.gz | grep whatever # :-
Does not work if the new version is not installed, though.
