I can't read the full descriptions of certain packages in the above output.

I had the same problem some time ago and Colin Watson gave me
a command to change the column width of the output. Now I'm
embarrassed to say I cannot find his response (I did save it but
Lord knows where, and I can't find it by searching the archives).
Someone help me out, please?
   

 COLUMNS=<number> dpkg -l

Cheers,

Thanks Colin.
