dselect shows packages sorted by these groups, as (I believe) will most of the various apt frontends like console-apt and aptitude. Alternatively, you could install the grep-dctrl package and use its extensive searching facilities to produce lists. Um, you can also see the packages in each group linked from the page you mention, e.g. <URL:http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/> - or is that not what you meant? -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
