OK, when I try this for atk, I get nothing at all. What's up with dat? 
<smile>

When I try it with gail, I get the following binary package names:
Binary: libgail18, libgail-common, libgail-dev, libgail-dbg, libgail-doc

You suggest in your message that saying "apt-get install libgail18" will do 
the right thing, so does this imply that the first binary package name will 
be all that is required to install all of gail, or must we install each of 
these binary packages in turn?

Thanx much.
