Z:englobe-dselect--6562ee-The top half of the screen sho/en

The top half of the screen shows a list of packages. For each package you see four columns for its current status on the system and mark. In terse mode (use `v' to toggle verbose display) these are single characters, from left to right:

Error flag: Space - no error (but package may be in broken state - see below) `R' - serious error during installation, needs reinstallation; Installed state:  Space - not installed; `*' - installed; `-' - not installed but config files remain; packages in { `U' - unpacked but not yet configured; these states { `C' - half-configured (an error happened); are broken { `I' - half-installed (an error happened). Old mark: what was requested for this package before presenting this list; Mark: what is requested for this package: `*': marked for installation or upgrade; `-': marked for removal, but any configuration files will remain; `=': on hold: package will not be processed at all; `_': marked for purge completely - even remove configuration; `n': package is new and has yet to be marked for install/remove/&c.

Also displayed are each package's Priority, Section, name, installed and available version numbers (shift-V to display/hide) and summary description. \
