Cuando escribo "mc" en mi terminal Ubuntu 14.04 obtengo un

The program 'mc' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install mc

¿Cómo puedo obtener detalles sobre el programa 'mc' antes de instalarlo? Quiero confirmar que ese es el archivo que quiero, y no otro.

Description-en: Midnight Commander - a powerful file manager
 GNU Midnight Commander is a text-mode full-screen file manager. It
 uses a two panel interface and a subshell for command execution. It
 includes an internal editor with syntax highlighting and an internal
 viewer with support for binary files. Also included is Virtual
 Filesystem (VFS), that allows files on remote systems (e.g. FTP, SSH
 servers) and files inside archives to be manipulated like real files.

Description: terminal-based package manager
 aptitude is a package manager with a number of useful features, including: a mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a flexible manner, dselect-like persistence of user actions, the ability to retrieve and display the Debian
 changelog of most packages, and a command-line mode similar to that of apt-get. 

 aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, and housebroken.

Con la GUI puede abrir el "Centro de software de Ubuntu" y buscar mco Midnight Commander.

ingrese la descripción de la imagen aquí

Le dará una descripción completa del paquete. También es útil si no conoce el nombre exacto del paquete.

También puede instalar Synaptic y hacer una búsqueda similar allí.

El software también se puede instalar en el Centro de software o Synaptic sin usar la línea de comandos.

Hay muchas formas de hacer esto. La más fácil por defecto es apt-cache search.

apt-cache search <regex>

Te dará algo como esto:

$ apt-cache search cheese
cheese - tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam
gir1.2-cheese-3.0 - tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - gir bindings
libcheese-dev - tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - base dev
libcheese-doc - tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - documentation
libcheese-gtk-dev - tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - widgets dev
libcheese-gtk23 - tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - widgets
libcheese7 - tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - base library
cheese-common - Common files for the Cheese tool to take pictures and videos
python-pyip - Python modules for raw ip packet assembling/disassembling

Esto es una especie de privilegio para:

dpkg-query -Wf '${Package} ${binary:Summary}\n'

Excepto que dpkg-querysolo parece funcionar en cosas que ya tienes instaladas.


apt listtiene búsqueda global (en lugar de expresiones regulares), que es un poco más natural para la mayoría de los usuarios, pero aún no puede modificar el formato de salida. Sin embargo, después de mirar la fuente , puede generar el resumen:

$ apt list -o 'APT::Cmd::List-Include-Summary=1'  *cheese* 
Listing... Done
cheese/trusty 3.10.2-0ubuntu2 amd64
  tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam

cheese-common/trusty 3.10.2-0ubuntu2 all
  Common files for the Cheese tool to take pictures and videos

gir1.2-cheese-3.0/trusty 3.10.2-0ubuntu2 amd64
  tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - gir bindings

libcheese-dev/trusty 3.10.2-0ubuntu2 amd64
  tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - base dev

libcheese-doc/trusty 3.10.2-0ubuntu2 all
  tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - documentation

libcheese-gtk-dev/trusty 3.10.2-0ubuntu2 amd64
  tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - widgets dev

libcheese-gtk23/trusty 3.10.2-0ubuntu2 amd64
  tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - widgets

libcheese7/trusty 3.10.2-0ubuntu2 amd64
  tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - base library

Es un poco bocado con el argumento de la opción, pero podría alias esto con bastante facilidad si lo desea.
