sasl2-bin doesn't mention saslauthd for apt-cache search searchterm.

[rew]

Binary package hint: sasl2-bin

see also bug 12464

Not being entirely familiar with the sasl system, I found I needed saslauthd. Turns out this lives in the sasl2-bin package.

Usually when I use apt-cache search <name-of-program> I get the appropriate results. As I often see results that do not mention my searchterm, I think there is an area where apt-cache also searches, that could mention in this case saslauthd, to allow me (but especially others having the same problem :-) ) to find it with the obvious search....

Hi,

I was wondering if this is still a problem for you?

Chuck,

Of course, as soon as I found the package, I found the package. So even before I submitted the report it was no longer an issue for ME. It however took me longer-than-necessary to find this package, so I made the suggestion to improve ubuntu here on launchpad. Of course it's low priority item, but I think it is an improvement if acted upon....

Thanks for the response it might be considered for future releases.
