Hi! When doing an "apt-get install kernel-image-2.6", for example, I get this: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Package kernel-image-2.6 is a virtual package provided by: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7-smp 2.6.8-16 kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7 2.6.8-16 kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp 2.6.8-16 kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 2.6.8-16 kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386 2.6.8-16 kernel-image-2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp 2.6.8-14 kernel-image-2.6.8-11-em64t-p4 2.6.8-14 kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp 2.6.8-14 kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 2.6.8-14 kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-generic 2.6.8-14 kernel-image-2.6.11-9-em64t-p4-smp 2.6.11-4 kernel-image-2.6.11-9-em64t-p4 2.6.11-4 kernel-image-2.6.11-9-amd64-k8-smp 2.6.11-4 kernel-image-2.6.11-9-amd64-k8 2.6.11-4 kernel-image-2.6.11-9-amd64-generic 2.6.11-4 kernel-image-2.6.11-1-k7-smp 2.6.11-7 kernel-image-2.6.11-1-k7 2.6.11-7 kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686-smp 2.6.11-7 kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686 2.6.11-7 kernel-image-2.6.11-1-386 2.6.11-7 You should explicitly select one to install. E: Package kernel-image-2.6 has no installation candidate But when doing an "aptitude install kernel-image-2.6": Reading package lists...

(...) As you see, apt-get show one kernel-image per line, but aptitude shows 2 packages per line, making difficult to read and choose the kernel to be installed. Would be good to show one package per line, and if possible, show also the version of the package, as apt-get do.
