How to discover the name of <package that has ncurses in it> is the question for which I currently have no good answer. Scrolling through 6900 packages in dselect takes too much time and is too error prone (at least, when *I* do it). So far the best I've found is: grep Package:.*ncurses /var/lib/dpkg/available | less which at least gives me a list of only packages whose names contain "ncurses". There's probably a much nicer way to do this, and if so I'd appreciate a documentation pointer. -- Mark H. Wood, Lead System Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Make a good day.
