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.
