Severity: normal


man aptitude section -F says

-F <format>, --display-format <format>
 Specify the format which should be used to display output from the search and versions commands. For instance, passing “%p %V %v” for <format> will display a package's name, followed by its currently installed version and its available version ...


# aptitude search ~U -F "%p %s %V %v"|grep git
git                                     vcs        1:2.0.0-2      1:1.9.2-1
git-man                                 doc        1:2.0.0-2      1:1.9.2-1
