Glad to be of help and welcome aboard Ubuntu; you'll
love it. If you are really new to Ubuntu(Debian)
packaging management, you can get a lot of info on
packages using aptitude show pkgname or aptitude
search pkgname or key word. Or you can use the GUI's
as you did. I prefer the aptitude CLI.  Good luck.
