ara - CLI utility for searching the Debian package database

The database lives, by default, as a text file under the path /var/lib/dpkg/available on your Debian installation. It lists all packages, installed or not, that are known to your Debian package management system.

ara can perform sophisticated searches on that database. It is possible to use any field of the package database as a search criterion and any boolean combination thereof.

ara can also call APT (or any use-configurable command) to install or remove packages matching a query.
