Fwd: Debian package version

[Carl Parrish]

Sorry if this goes though all three times. But I think I figured out which
email to use with this one.

On a rpm based system I know how to do what I want done is to type.
rpm -q <application name>

How do I do the same thing on a Debian based distro?
I just need to know the version that's installed.
