See What Version of a Package Is Installed on Ubuntu

The package management system on Ubuntu makes it extremely simple to install and remove packages, but sometimes it's important to figure out what version of a particular package that you actually have installed.

The apt-get utilities are simply a front-end to the debian dpkg utility, which actually does the real work. You can use this utility to figure out what version is installed.

dpkg -s

ex:- dpkg -s k3b
