[Bug 1749777] Re: Syntax tweaks for snap-friendly output

[Gustavo Niemeyer]

Yeah, we spent a lot of time trying to make the output both compact and
showing command lines. The problem is that once you have more than a few
options, it gets wild and unfriendly as a dump of information after a
typo.

That said, I think we can improve these headings indeed. The output I
see above ("foo can be found") disagrees with what we discussed, and
what is in the top proposal in this ticket. We need to improve this. The
+ vs * also looks like a typo.

Bug description:
  Would it be possible to change 'found' to 'installed', and show
  potential versions? For example:

  $ aws
  The program 'aws' can be installed as:
   * snap 'aws-cli' (1.14.38) 
   * deb 'awscli' (1.14.36-1)
