A brief version summary is shown. Detailed information about constituent packages is not shown.

- Displays all software that has been added, deleted, downgraded, or upgraded since the last baseline version upgrade.
- added
- Displays all packages that have been added since the last baseline version upgrade.
- deleted
- Displays all packages that have been deleted since the last baseline version upgrade.
- downgraded

- upgraded
- Displays all packages that have been upgraded since the last baseline version upgrade.
Operational mode
Use this command to see what package changes have occurred since the last time a full version upgrade was performed.
The information shown always relates to the last full version upgrade. Therefore, the following conditions apply.
- Immediately after a full version upgrade, entering a show version all command displays no changes.
- If a package is added after an upgrade, entering a show version all command displays the added package.
- However, if the added package is then deleted again, entering a show version all command displays no change because the system is now in the same state as it is immediately after the full version upgrade.
If there are no added, deleted, upgraded, or downgraded packages the output does not provide any package information.
Keep in mind that if you delete a package, packages that depend on the deleted package are also removed.
If there have been packages added, deleted, upgraded and/or downgraded the package information will immediately follow the general version information (see above). The output will list the added packages first, followed by all the deleted packages, followed by the list of upgraded packages, and finally ending with a list of downgraded packages. An example showing the full package information output follows at the end of this description.

The following examples describe the output format for each type of modified package; added, deleted, upgraded, and downgraded. Please note all examples are provided just to show the format.
Aii <package name> <package version>Aii archivemail 0.9.0-1.1
Aii mailagent 1:3.1-78-1Deleted packages are packages that are part of the original released packages for the base release but have been removed from the system. Information about deleted packages is provided in the following format.
X <package name> <package version>The "X" is the indicator of a deleted package. This is followed by the package name and the package version. Here is an example of real output.
X auditd 1:2.6.7-1
X gcc-6-base 6.3.0-11 Upgraded packages are packages that are part of the original released packages for the base release but have been replaced with a newer version than was released with the base system. Information about upgraded packages is provided in the following format.
Uii <package name> <new package version> (baseline: <old package version>)The "Uii" is the indicator of an upgraded package. This is followed by the package name, the new package version, and then the baseline version number. Here is an example of real output.
