Thanks for the clarification. I didn't see that in man apt-get, but I
now see it is a separate pgm.

My question about what else might be installed was, I think, answered.
Update manager popped up today and was offering to install dozens of
'new install' stuff as well as many others. Not sure what a lot of
this stuff does, but I assume it is safe since it is, presumably,
specific to Lucid. And - the new ppas are also there so I could just
install shotwell + dependencies if I wanted to.

Thanks much for the info,

 rikona
