This command will give you anything that has reference to "pgm" in it.
apt-cache search pgm
Now if you were actually looking for "pgm"
apt-file search pgm
Currently that gives me 745 lines of return. Most programs related to
pgm are usually like "pgmedge" or "pgmnorm" or "somethingtopgm" or
"pgmtosomething"
Most of these come from the "netpbm" package. "dvi2pgm" is from the
package "tex-guy"
So, I guess what do you really want?
