  Description     : A utility for queries on the Debian package database

 ara is a utility for doing boolean regexp queries on the Debian
 package database.
 .
 The database lives, by default, as a text file under the path
 /var/lib/dpkg/available on your Debian installation. It lists all
 packages, installed or not, that are known to your Debian package
 management system.
 .
 ara can perform sophisticated queries on that database. It is possible
 to use any field of the package database as a search criterium and any
 boolean combination thereof.
