Is there a way to search the short package description that is shown when you do a fink list? Sometimes I want a specific type of program, let's say a newsreader, but it is tedious looking through the list trying to find all of them.Try "fink apropos"; e.g.:
$ fink apropos news
Information about 1449 packages read in 1 seconds.
gnewspost 0.6-1 GUI for newspost USENET binary poster.
