I remember using something called "apt-show-versions".

Example:

apt-show-versions -p autoconf -a

output:

autoconf 2.61-8 install ok installed
autoconf 2.61-8 lenny ftp.us.debian.org
autoconf/lenny uptodate 2.61-8

This works fine. Thanks. I found out that 'apt-cache showpkg' command
also gives some sort of information regarding the repository from
where the package was installed.

Thank you.

Regards,
Guruprasad
