Hi, 
You should also make sure you have apt-show-versions installed.  To do
this do this.
Apt-get install apt-show-versions 
Now when you want to know what version of a program you have installed
you can then 
Type apt-show-versions package name.  
If you do not have it installed it will report that package x is not
installed.  Replace package name in the above example with the name of
the package you are looking for.  
Also once you do apt-cache search package name 
And you find the package you are interested  in you can type apt-cache
show package name to get more information about it.

hi.

In cases like this, you want to use apt-cache to see what version of
libpng-dev is available.

apt-cache search libpng-dev

I'm running unstable, so the following line will probably be different
for you.

libpng12-dev - PNG library - development

Usually, addibional sources won't help since they are mirrors.  The only
time you want to add entries is if you want to get packages not in the
Debian archive.

Hope this helps.
