How do I install dselect package via terminal?

I was tasked to install the "dselect package" but can't seem to find any "apt-get command thing" on the internet. Only commands which use the dselect command from the Debian docs.



What I have tried



sudo apt-get install dselect_1.19.0.5Ubuntu2.i386.dev


But it can't be found



NOTE:



  • Since I have an Intel processor I should go for the i386, right?

  • I am running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS on a VM.

          dselect is available for Ubuntu 18.04, you should have the following line in your /etc/apt/sources.list:



          deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main 
          deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates main


          Then run:



          sudo apt updates
          sudo apt install dselect

          • @WhiteGlove you can get the description of the installed package using dpkg-query -W -f '$Descriptionn' dselect - personally I find it easier to use apt show dselect (or apt-cache show dselect) which will give information about the package even if not installed
