Description: Debian System Wide Information Manager
DSWIM is a powerful informational tool for Debian's packaging system.
Designed with an integral approach it combines the functionality
found in several other programs and scripts. This provides users with a
centralized approach to querying the installation, and allows programmers
the liberty of writing smaller and simpler code.
.
Presently, the virtual -n options are not working with the new Debian archive
hierarchy, so help information doesn't reflect them anymore. Older versions
of swim do support the previous archive hierarchy. In the future, all -n
options may be handled directly through apt-cache information and apt cache
management rather than through huge databases. The virtual filesystem will
still be managed by a database, and Contents.gz listings will also be
reinstated.
