aptitude in interactive mode has several ways of listing packages.

Views -> New Debtags Browser go to 'interface - commandline' . But you
need to install debtags first.
I'll try that, have never done that before. BTW, somehow the reverse
video "?" marks from aptitude are gone away without me doing anything.
but some codes stil remain in the links browser. I tried many terminal
options but still.
I like aptitude and have it installed too but it doesn't show packages
which apt-cache search readily does and shows longer lists than
aptitude at times.
Another problem is, due to my using apt. ( I like aptitude's search
feature's telling if the package is already installed or not with the
"i"). If I run aptitude to install something, it is ready to remove
packages that I use daily, like mutt and slrn. So I do not use it. I
was told not to use both, even years ago.
