You should not install software like that, unless you happen to like
surprises. You should first browse the descriptions of the packages
that seem relevant (e.g. the packages matching *lsh*). Or if you're
lazy, do something like
apt-get install '*lsh*'
(if that is possible with apt, I'm really not familiar with it), which
should either install all packages or fail and tell you that there is
a conflict.
