Many thanks for your response. As it turns out, the package was already 
installed. I was looking in the wrong place.

Could you please tell me how you knew what to look for? I find the brief 
descriptions in Aptitude somewhat cryptic. Is there some other way to 
determine which package to use?

Again, thanks.
