By 'packagename' I mean, of course, the name that you find listed in, 
say, synaptic (e.g. 'realplay' or 'mozilla-thunderbird').  In fact I 
tend to search for packages with the synaptic 'Search' feature, and then 
install from a terminal with aptitude.

Does anyone use the aptitude GUI?  (Perhaps I should say "GUI", as it's 
more a 'sort-of' GUI - the one that starts when you just do 'aptitude' 
in a terminal.  Quite powerful, but old-fashioned and clunky.)
