In order to check (and only this), the following, simpler command can be run. Moreover, it does not require sudo (so, not your master password) :
apt install -s xserver-xorg-video-intel
the key is the ‘-s’ qualifier, which transforms the command into a simulation (and a simulation won’t require the superuser password).
the result of the simulation is perfectly explicit. The install command WOULD install new sofware or then you indeed have the latest one.
