I pull the UBUNTU docker image, run the downloaded ubuntu image and I run the following command dpkg -s libksba8 to check the current version of libksba8 inside the docker ubuntu system.

When I run the above command the output look like this

dpkg-query: package 'libksba8' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files.

So that I download the libksba8 library from the source archive file and I install it manually like this below

Download file wget https://www.gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libksba/libksba-1.6.3.tar.bz2
Extract the downloaded file tar xjf libksba-1.6.3.tar.bz2
Enter to the extracted folder cd libksba-1.6.3
Configure the package ./configure
Build the package make
Install the library make install

After the installation I check the libksba8 version again and then I got like this below but what I want to ask about it is I install the version libksba-1.6.3 why the below command showing version 1.6.0-2ubuntu0.2.

What is the version of Ubuntu?

It's unlikely that ./configure / make / make install created and installed a .deb file, most often that just installs files locally (to /usr/local/lib for example) by default. It looks like you did install the libksba8 package from the Ubuntu repository at some point, and that's what dpkg is seeing.

@steeldriver Actually this libksba8 library automatically install when I make ```sudo apt-get update``` but I want to override the version.

OK well `dpkg -s` is only going to tell you about packages installed via dpkg (or via apt - which uses dpkg under the hood)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
