you mentioned in July that you search it like this, yes. We told you to, if you search using apt-cache: search for module name and egg name only, not the whole package name because some developers do not follow Debian Python Policy's recommendations and do not use MODULE name as postfix. We also mentioned that it's much, much better to search for files using apt-file - if you do this, you don't have to care about package name. > It's IMO a > mistake that it's called this way, because the egg-info really shows > websocket-client, not just websocket. module name is "websocket" not "websocket-client" - this is egg name. Package name is perfectly fine (python-websocket-client would be wrong)
