To search for package names hit '/' followed by characters.  It interactively 
searches for a match anywhere in the package name string.  If it hasn't found 
what you want hit return to save the search string and then '\' to repeat the 
search.  It will loop round when it gets to the end. [ie its just like 
dselect]
