If I want color in this listing it is because it will be much more easy to find the name of executables that are in a package because it's a much more common way than to look for names that are in a /bin/ directory.
Even if the permission information are not in the package file it should be possible to get it by querying the system... About the second part I know apt-file... I know apt-get... I know apt- cache... but Synaptic is a Graphical User Interface and so it should provide a common way to do this and avoid using the Comand Line Interface... because Ubuntu is for Human ;-) Regards -- Executable files should appear with a color https://launchpad.net/bugs/54831 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
