@aspragg@ohai.social I was searching for name and version number only.
I have been using Debian since 2004 or so and apt did not exist then. Didn't like apt-get so the way I learnt to install/upgrade was aptitude, which I use as a CLI rather than a TUI.

@tchauhan@mastodon.mit.edu Ah, cool. In that case, even though I already voted `aptitude` in the poll, if it's just name and version from installed packages, I might actually prefer `dpkg -l | grep`
