Description-en_AU: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event daemon
Modern computers support the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
(ACPI) to allow intelligent power management on your system and to query
battery and configuration status.
.
ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for delivering
ACPI events. It listens on netlink interface (or on the deprecated file
/proc/acpi/event), and when an event occurs, executes programs to handle
the event. The programs it executes are configured through a set of
configuration files, which can be dropped into place by packages or by the
admin.
Package: adduser
Description-md5: 7965b5cd83972a254552a570bcd32c93
Description-en_AU: add and remove users and groups
This package includes the 'adduser' and 'deluser' commands for creating
and removing users.
.
- 'adduser' creates new users and groups and adds existing users to
existing groups;
- 'deluser' removes users and groups and removes users from a given
group.
.
Adding users with 'adduser' is much easier than adding them manually.
Adduser will choose appropriate UID and GID values, create a home
directory, copy skeletal user configuration, and automate setting initial
values for the user's password, real name and so on.
.
Deluser can back up and remove users' home directories and mail spool or
all the files they own on the system.
.
A custom script can be executed after each of the commands.

Package: aide
Description-md5: 2f952d2016068a66962bb96ea84f8fc7
Description-en_AU: Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment - static binary
AIDE is an intrusion detection system that detects changes to files on the
local system. It creates a database from the regular expression rules that
it finds from the config file. Once this database is initialised it can be
used to verify the integrity of the files. It has several message digest
algorithms (md5, sha1, rmd160, tiger, haval, etc.) that are used to check
the integrity of the file. More algorithms can be added with relative
ease. All of the usual file attributes can also be checked for
inconsistencies.
.
This package contains the statically linked binary for "normal" systems.
.
You will almost certainly want to tweak the configuration file in
/etc/aide/aide.conf or drop your own config snippets into
/etc/aide/aide.conf.d.

Package: antlr
Description-md5: 21a2d2105df695e242797a7829b2c9b5
Description-en_AU: language tool for constructing recognizers, compilers etc
ANTLR, ANother Tool for Language Recognition, (formerly PCCTS) is a
language tool that provides a framework for constructing recognizers,
compilers, and translators from grammatical descriptions containing C++ or
Java actions [You can use PCCTS 1.xx to generate C-based parsers].
.
Computer language translation has become a common task. While compilers
and tools for traditional computer languages (such as C or Java) are still
being built, their number is dwarfed by the thousands of mini-languages
for which recognisers and translators are being developed. Programmers
construct translators for database formats, graphical data files (e.g.,
PostScript, AutoCAD), text processing files (e.g., HTML, SGML). ANTLR is
designed to handle all of your translation tasks.

Package: apache2-mpm-event
Description-md5: a80d3fe69689b28f8aea325690e6e8f5
Description-en_AU: Apache HTTP Server - event driven model
Each Apache Multi-Processing Module provides a different "flavour" of web
server binary, compiled with a different processing model.
.
The event MPM is designed to allow more requests to be served
simultaneously by passing off some processing work to supporting threads,
freeing up the main threads to work on new requests. It is especially
suitable for sites that see extensive KeepAlive traffic.
.
This MPM is experimental and less tested than the worker and prefork MPMs.
Package: apache2-mpm-prefork
Description-md5: 176c61a82dfd04a8e0bdb0bf3825ab27
Description-en_AU: Apache HTTP Server - traditional non-threaded model
Each Apache Multi-Processing Module provides a different "flavour" of web
server binary, compiled with a different processing model.
.
The prefork MPM provides a non-threaded, pre-forking implementation that
handles requests in a manner similar to Apache 1.3. It is not as fast as
threaded models, but is considered to be more stable. It is appropriate
for sites that need to maintain compatibility with non-thread-safe
libraries, and is the best MPM for isolating each request, so that a
problem with a single request will not affect any other.
Package: apache2-mpm-worker
Description-md5: 5c9df5383d0a2631ae15ced2ca0389d7
Description-en_AU: Apache HTTP Server - high speed threaded model
Each Apache Multi-Processing Module provides a different "flavour" of web
server binary, compiled with a different processing model.
.
The worker MPM provides the default threaded implementation. It is
recommended especially for high-traffic sites because it is faster and has
a smaller memory footprint than the traditional prefork MPM.
Package: apport-symptoms
Description-md5: 685dc189a71c0847d5bc525d477c0d11
Description-en_AU: symptom scripts for apport
Apport intercepts program crashes, collects debugging information about
the crash and the operating system environment, and sends it to bug
trackers in a standardised form. It also offers the user to report a bug
about a package, with again collecting as much information about it as
possible.
.
This package extends Apport by some "symptom" scripts, so that bug
reporters do not have to guess the correct package, but report problems
based on symptoms that they have (like "sound problem"), through an
interactive process.
Package: apt-utils

This package contains some APT utility programs such as apt-ftparchive,
apt-sortpkgs and apt-extracttemplates.
.
apt-extracttemplates is used by debconf to prompt for configuration
questions before installation. apt-ftparchive is used to create Package
and other index files. apt-sortpkgs is a Package/Source file normaliser.
