An apt:/ protocol in konqueror which provides apt-cache functionalities :
- apt:/search?search_string
- apt:/show?package
- apt:/policy?package
and a few dpkg functionalities too:
- apt:/list?package lists the file in a package
- apt:/fsearch?file finds the package which owns the specified file
Any non-valid url, including apt:/, shows a page with a query form
When a package is listed in the results, it is shown as an hyperlink.
When kpkgmanager is installed, it show install and remove buttons.

Good job!
Some things I would like to see:
apt:/ to show folders that represent the categories with the packages inside, so you could browse throught it. Maybe we could also use the sidebar. Dream: each category folder to have its own icon
apt-search:/ as suggested above. I like your solution to use web shortcuts.
Drag 'n' Drop Support: droping an .deb in some apt:/ should ask to install it... maybe it can be confusing, 'cause if you're in one category and drop a package from another, the package will not install in the actual one. Something to think.
Drag and drop package from apt:/ to trash could ask to uninstall the package.
An special sidebar: something beautiful and usable, with a search form in the top, some actions in the middle and the package/category tree in the bottom. Maybe these 3 parts could be configurable, or don't have the tree, cause user can have it using the VFS (kio_apt) tree.
Maybe some distro could sponsor you? Lindows or another one could benefit from that! They could get ride of their click 'n' run?

In apt:/show?, the labels should be right aligned and multi-line should have the label left-aligned in a previous line, Ie:
Priority, Section, Installed-Size, ... should be right-algined.
Depends, Description, ... should be on a separate line, left-aligned, then should be a line with the contents.
The search form should be refactored. Search, Show and List the files of a package should be joined in just Search, if there's only one result, show it, otherwise, display the list (separated with a "exact match" if there's one), let the user view the package. Right below the package description we could have a {Show|Hide} Package Files, which display the list right there (below the package desc).
Maybe this search field could be in the blue-bar (heading), at the top-right.
Search for a File should be hidden somewhere, maybe you could have a checkbox "[ ] search for files too" or even a link to an advanced form.
These wishes are much easier to implement than the previous one, I hope to see them ASAP ;) Just kidding! You're great!
Keep the good job!

I don't like the right-aligned thing, sorry :). But I think that
placing titles of multi-line fields
into separated lines could be a good one.
I really like the "Search/Show/List files" idea. But
I don't like hiding "Search for a file".
since some packages have
very VERY long file list, I don't like the idea of adding it to the end of the package description. Clicking in the titlebar is not a great problem I think :)
BTW: we shortcuts are coming in the 0.7

The right align is really a personal thing :)
If you hide the "Search for File", you can put that in the head bar without bloating the whole visual. Maybe a box "[ ] files" with a descriptive tooltip should do.
About the list at the end. You can keep the link at the top, but add the possibility to show both (description + files) is a big plus, something like rpmfind.net. You can keep the old behaviour with the link at the top and add other in the botom to show/hide file list. Maybe you can even rememer this state :)
And, what about the Drag & Drop?
Good we will have shortcuts!

For the removing of "show", I'm changing my mind. My main concern is that search is much MUCH longer than "show" alone.

Why not use the apt-show:/package?

Btw I was hoping it would also allow apt:/install?
The next release perhaps?
Then we just need to make html pages that sort all the applications into categories and sub-categories and my mum can use Debian, and possibly your boss as well!
thanks,

I did to make clean and try it all again but to no avail.
Really the audience that can benefit from this is not those that have no trouble compiling stuff.
Can I please just have a .deb?
Thanks,
Chris

Unfortunately, it seems to have a dependency on an older version of zlib1g than I have installed on my debian system. It wants 1.1.2.* and I have 1.1.4.*.
Any way to get around that?

You can upgrade it by using
apt-get install zlib1g/unstable

Tool I never realised I wanted lots! Will forever use all the time.
Now, install via ksu would be a worthy addition ;-)
