How can I find exactly one package by name?

As mentioned in “Sökmönster”, when you search for a package by name, the text you enter is actually a regular expression. Thus, the search pattern “^name$” will match only a package named name.

For instance, you can find apt (but not aptitude or synaptic) by entering ^apt$; you can find g++ (but not g++-2.95 or g++-3.0) by entering ^g\+\+$.

Hur kan jag hitta trasiga paket?

Använd kommandot SökSök trasiga (b).

I want to select text, why doesn't aptitude let me disable the mouse?

When a program running in an xterm is using the mouse, the xterm disables text selection. However, you can override this behavior and perform a selection by holding the Shift key down.
