- please reply to the debian.user mailing list, not to me personnaly: one purpose of such a list is to have archives that users can search later in order to solve their own problems similar to those mentionned here :-) - Didier is my firstname: don't call me Mr Didier, just call me Didier :-) To answer your question: $ apt search your_criteria will search for packages either present in your local package database or in repositories you have allowed (consult /etc/apt/sources.list file and /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory) whose name contains the your_criteria string. this searching operation is similar to the apt-cache search one, whose manpage is here: https://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-cache Ypu will find additional information regarding Debian package management here: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html there is a brief memento (debian reference card) here: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/refcard/refcard.en.pdf Generally speaking, ou will find interesting Debian documentation at this webpage: https://www.debian.org/doc/index.en.html and there is a wiki, too: https://wiki.debian.org/FrontPage
