You are on Ubuntu, you said, and if I'm not mistaken the apt tools should be available and usable on your system, in this case especially apt-cache (see the man page for more information...: man apt-cache) The following command finds packages in your local database of available packages which contain the string of the second argument as a pattern: $ apt-cache search klatin klatin-trinity - application to help revise/teach Latin The output comes with the so called short description. If there's no package which contains the string "klatin" in their name, nothing would be found, of course. If you want more information about a package, try this one (exact package name required), which gives you a long description, too, if available, depending on the particular package: $ apt-cache show klatin-trinity (output omitted) If that's not enough, most of the time the homepage of the software is given, too, but that's not the case with klatin-trinity.
