Ubuntu apt-cache show命令查看lib库的版本信息

在写《Ubuntu14.04 安装VSCode 1.36.1版本 libnss3 (>= 2:3.26) 》时。

虽然已经安装成功VSCode 1.36.1， 其依赖库libnss3已经满足了2:3.26要求，但是我当时想知道究竟已经更新到什么版本了？

首先尝试了，apt-get install libnss3，发现其只是提示当前已经是最新版本。

但并未给出版本号。

user@swd:~$ sudo apt-get install libnss3
[sudo] password for user: 
正在读取软件包列表... 完成
正在分析软件包的依赖关系树       
正在读取状态信息... 完成       
libnss3 已经是最新的版本了。
libnss3 被设置为手动安装。
下列软件包是自动安装的并且现在不需要了：
  gir1.2-json-1.0 gir1.2-timezonemap-1.0 gir1.2-xkl-1.0 libdbusmenu-gtk4
  libmbim-glib0 libqmi-glib0 usb-modeswitch usb-modeswitch-data
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
升级了 0 个软件包，新安装了 0 个软件包，要卸载 0 个软件包，有 817 个软件包未被升级。
user@swd:~$ 

后来想使用--version来尝试，发现其不是个命令，无法这样查看。

user@swd:~$ libnss3 --version
libnss3：未找到命令
user@swd:~$ 

经过一番搜寻查问，发现要从apt-cache中去查找。

apt-cache show  libnss3

这个命令查看无须sudo获取root权限。

输出内容很详细。
