Listing Options for Apt-Get

I have learned to get around in yum, but now with Ubuntu, I am having to learn apt-get.

Before with yum, I could do:

sudo yum list | grep -i <some program>

now, I need to do:

apt-cache search <some program>

YumEx New Version — Colors

I just updated to the new version of yumex and noticed that they added a color coding scheme to the updates.

Here is what I found the colors mean:

• Red = updating package
• Blue = obsoleting package
• Green = installed package
• Black = uninstalled package
