Why does dselect [S]elect let me scroll down only a few lines and then no more? It seems that all I can browse is the very top of the package list. I can see a bit more if I make my terminal window bigger, but still only the tip of the iceberg, I assume.
Why does the package database on the web site generate different lists at different times? I've been having trouble getting it to tell me about the perl modules. Sometimes it shows 59 of them, sometimes over 100, sometimes over 200. Today the list runs only from A through G (107 entries), but yesterday, after several failed attempts, I got it to show me what I was looking for, perlmagick. But there were three entries for it and I had no idea how to tell which one to install (if any). Today I can't even remember exactly what the three were called.
Is there anything equivalent to "apt-get list" (which doesn't exist)? I know I can say "fink list", but what if I only want what's available as binary?
Does the perlmagick package exist or not, and if so, in what form? "fink list perl*" does not show it.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
