jorge at satyr:~$ aptitude search gvfs
i   gvfs                    - userspace virtual filesystem - server                           
i   gvfs-backends           - userspace virtual filesystem - backends                         
i   gvfs-bin                - userspace virtual filesystem - binaries                         
i   gvfs-fuse               - userspace virtual filesystem - fuse server
