2. Use discover and apt search to find 'xmedcon' and 'sightviewer' packages

Discover cannot find either.
' apt search' finds both.

Comment 1 Harald Sitter 2024-03-25 00:36:49 UTC 
Discover is not a package manager. It enumerates applications, not packages.
Comment 2 Jens 2024-03-25 16:47:23 UTC 
Both mentioned packages are "applications" (i.e. desktop apps that end users can use).
How you distinguish apps from packages?
