The list of packages is the primary interface to <span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span>.
When <span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span> starts, the list is organized into a number
of groups, as can be seen in the following screen shot:
</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><table border="0" summary="manufactured viewport for HTML img" style="cellpadding: 0; cellspacing: 0;" width="100%"><tr><td><img src="images/start-snapshot.png" width="100%" alt="[main screen, package view]" /></td></tr></table><div class="longdesc-link" align="right"><br clear="all" /><span class="longdesc-link">[<a href="ld-idm318.html" target="longdesc">D</a>]</span></div></div></div><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><table border="0" summary="Note"><tr><td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Note]" src="images/note.png" /></td><th align="left">Note</th></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
Empty groups of packages are automatically hidden by
<span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span>, so you may see more or less groups than appear
in this screen shot.
</p></td></tr></table></div><p>
In the screen shot above, the first group (<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Installed
Packages</span>”</span>) is highlighted to indicate that it is
currently selected. You can move the selection up and down
with the arrow keys; note that the description below the
package list changes as you do so. To <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">expand</span>”</span>
a group, press <span class="keycap"><strong>Enter</strong></span> while the group is
selected:
</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><table border="0" summary="manufactured viewport for HTML img" style="cellpadding: 0; cellspacing: 0;" width="100%"><tr><td><img src="images/expand-once-snapshot.png" width="100%" alt="[package view, expand one group]" /></td></tr></table><div class="longdesc-link" align="right"><br clear="all" /><span class="longdesc-link">[<a href="ld-idm333.html" target="longdesc">D</a>]</span></div></div></div><p>
As you can see, the <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Installed Packages</span>”</span> group has been
expanded to reveal its contents: it contains a number of
subgroups, loosely defined by what types of software they
contain. Expanding the <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">admin</span>”</span> section by selecting it and
pressing <span class="keycap"><strong>Enter</strong></span>, we see:
</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><table border="0" summary="manufactured viewport for HTML img" style="cellpadding: 0; cellspacing: 0;" width="100%"><tr><td><img src="images/expand-twice-snapshot.png" width="100%" alt="[package view, expand Installed Packages group, then expand admin group]" /></td></tr></table><div class="longdesc-link" align="right"><br clear="all" /><span class="longdesc-link">[<a href="ld-idm345.html" target="longdesc">D</a>]</span></div></div></div><p>
The <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">admin</span>”</span> group contains a single subgroup, the <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">main</span>”</span>
Debian archive. Expanding this group reveals some packages!
</p><div class="tip" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><table border="0" summary="Tip"><tr><td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Tip]" src="images/tip.png" /></td><th align="left">Tip</th></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
To save time, you can use the <span class="keycap"><strong>[</strong></span> key to
expand all the subgroups of a group at once. Selecting
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Installed Packages</span>”</span> and pressing <span class="keycap"><strong>[</strong></span> would
have immediately revealed the packages in the screenshot
below.
</p></td></tr></table></div><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><table border="0" summary="manufactured viewport for HTML img" style="cellpadding: 0; cellspacing: 0;" width="100%"><tr><td><img src="images/expand-thrice-snapshot.png" width="100%" alt="[package view, expand Installed Packages group, then expand admin group, then expand main group]" /></td></tr></table><div class="longdesc-link" align="right"><br clear="all" /><span class="longdesc-link">[<a href="ld-idm361.html" target="longdesc">D</a>]</span></div></div></div><p>
In addition to the arrow keys, you can move the selection
through the package list by a page of information at a time
using the <span class="keycap"><strong>Page Up</strong></span> and <span class="keycap"><strong>Page
Down</strong></span> keys.
</p><div class="tip" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><table border="0" summary="Tip"><tr><td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Tip]" src="images/tip.png" /></td><th align="left">Tip</th></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
When there is more information in the lower half of the
display than fits into the available space, the
<span class="keycap"><strong>a</strong></span> and <span class="keycap"><strong>z</strong></span> keys can be used
to scroll through it.
</p></td></tr></table></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch01s01s01.html"><img src="images/prev.gif" alt="Prev" /></a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="ch01s01.html"><img src="images/up.gif" alt="Up" /></a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch01s01s03.html"><img src="images/next.gif" alt="Next" /></a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top"><span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span> basics </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html"><img src="images/home.gif" alt="Home" /></a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Finding packages by name</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
