The offending packages are faad, libfaad2-dev, libmp4v2, libmp4v2-dev When I install them, I can read the names of all remaining installable packages. Of course, I can't read the list of installed applications then, unless I switch to the short list. BTW, it also helps to switch to full-screen display.
