I just downloaded and installed Lyx using aptitude on a Sarge system. The package recommends also installing 'sgml-tools' which, from its name, sounds like a good idea, but the search function in aptitude cannot find a package of that name. Where might I find it?

A small point but Lyx suggests rather than recommends sgml-tools.

I'm unfamiliar with aptitude but it is a little surprising it does not give a
similar output to `dpkg -l sgml-tools', `apt-cache search sgml-tools' or
a package search on Debian's web page.

bash-2.05b$ apt-cache search sgml-tools
linuxdoc-tools - SGML converters for the LinuxDoc DTD only.
sgml-tools - Replaced by linuxdoc-tools (dummy package for upgrade)

pretzalz@Pretzalz:~$ apt-cache search sgml-tools
linuxdoc-tools - SGML converters for the LinuxDoc DTD only.


What distro are you using, I can't find the dummy package in either testing or unstable so presumably it no longer exists. It is probably a bug against lyx that it suggests a package that doesn't exist. @OP: You want to install linuxdoc-tools in lieu of sgml-tools, though I am sure you already figured that out. ;)
