Yes, I can look it up as well. My point was, it's tiresome to have to
look it up just because the OP can't be bothered to add as much as a
URL. (This is a package which -- despite what the website says -- is not
in the standard repos.) Consider my rhetorical question a hint that he
might want to polish his question-asking skills.
