Hi,
I am reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromLinux/%20RedHatEnterpriseLinuxAndFedora
but still am a bit confused on a few tasks. In RHEL, if I do a # yum list \*ldap\*
I get every package name that has ldap returned in the form such that I can copy
any one of those and do a # yum install <...> and it fetches it. Is the only way to
do this in Kubuntu by # apt-cache dumpavail and then grepping for "Package:" + <search string>?
Or is there a cleaner way to do this?

Thanks!
