I use the Debian package web page. You can search by package name or by
package contents. This is the page:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
There are other ways to do this but for me, this is the most convenient way.

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.

it the normal way  (aptitude/wajig/apt-get...)
