:) With my custom supa-dupa package searcher and shower script :) Now, my script was using "dpkg -W $pkg-name" and grepping for "no packages found" to test whether the package was installed/not-installed. This fails in the situation of vim-athena (and similar situations of course), so my show_installed_package was being incorrectly called (should have been show__not_installed_package). I symlink my script for a few commands (command names) which the script conditionally executes, like busybox. And the key combinations I've chosen are quick and easy to type, the output highlights (with grep to red colorize) the lines I consider are important (Status, Section (so I can see blah/non-free), Package name of course) and also spits out the binaries if any installed, and pipes through my chosen pager, and lays out all the package information in just the way I like. I also have package searching down to a fine art, with a few variants: alternative grep term, additional grep term, etc. aks <name> <enter> searches akw <name> shows package info/description etc akgn <name> <additional-grep-filter-term> etc I live in the cmd line, and I find searching and showing packages such a common occurrence (for years now), that these keystroke saving and key-data-highlighting script variations bring much sanity to this tinker junkie :) (Can email if wanted, it's not far off being ready for public posting .. by my standards at least.)
