package version

hi,
I have this problem.
I run a script to check which version of a given package is installed and I need something returning a meaningfull answer also if the installation was done with the sources.

Let's say that, a priori, I do not know how the package was installed.

So far I have something working for rpm: rpm -qa.

Cheers.
