Public bug reported:
In the "Screensaver Preferences" window, many screensavers are listed,
most of which are disabled (grayed out), and a message is displayed that
seemingly suggests that the packages xscreensaver-extras and
xscreensaver-gl-extras will enable some of them. However, there does not
seem to be any packages in the repos with either of those exact names.
Attempting to auto-complete in the terminal after typing "sudo apt-get install
xscreensaver" yields the following:
xscreensaver xscreensaver-gl-extra
xscreensaver-data xscreensaver-screensaver-bsod
xscreensaver-data-extra xscreensaver-screensaver-dizzy
xscreensaver-gl xscreensaver-screensaver-webcollage
