To list packages related to the editor vi:
dpkg -l ‘*vi*’

To search the listing of packages yourself:
less /var/lib/dpkg/available

To remove an installed elvis package:
dpkg -r elvis

To install a package, you first need to find it in an archive or CDROM. The “available” file shows that the vim package is in section “editors”:
cd /cdrom/hamm/hamm/binary/editors dpkg -i vim_4.5-3.deb
