How do i show details of an installed ubuntu package?



  • Man page for apt.

           show (apt-cache(8))
               Show information about the given package(s) including its dependencies,
               installation and download size, sources the package is available from, the
               description of the packages content and much more. It can e.g. be helpful
               to look at this information before allowing apt(8) to remove a package or
               while searching for new packages to install.
