Yeah, you can go to synaptic and and do a search. Alternatively, you
type "aptitude search readline" on the terminal (no need for sudo/root
access for search). If you found what you want to install, you can use
"sudo apt-get install <list-of-packages>" or "sudo aptitude install
<list-of-packages>". Synaptic is fine too, but not the "Add/Remove
Application", the "Add/Remove Application" allows you to install
applications not single packages.
