Apt has make my system a _lot_ better.  Thanks for the work you put
into it.


BTW, if anyone is looking for ideas: a command line program to query
the available cache would be a nice addition, something that can list
package names with Versions and Short Descriptions, and provide
complete records for individual packages.  Like "dpkg -l" and "dpkg
-s" except for uninstalled packages.  (Unfortunately "dpkg -l *"
doesn't list the versions or descriptions of uninstalled packages.)
