Fwd: finding package is still an issue

[Siegfried-Angel]

Hi Shirish,
 I guess the page you're searching is this one:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dictd

Note the +source/ in the URL, which you were missing. Also, Launchpad
uses the name of the source packages instead of the binary package's
ones (the source packages are those from which the binary packages
-which are those that you see in Synaptic- are made of).

In a lot of cases both packages have the same name, but if it isn't
like this you can get the name of the source package executing
«apt-cache showsrc BINARY_PACKAGE_NAME | grep Package» in a terminal.

Hope that helps,
