Package: adduser
Description-md5: 7965b5cd83972a254552a570bcd32c93
Description-en_CA: add and remove users and groups
 This package includes the 'adduser' and 'deluser' commands for creating
 and removing users.
 .
  - 'adduser' creates new users and groups and adds existing users to
    existing groups;
  - 'deluser' removes users and groups and removes users from a given
    group.
 .
 Adding users with 'adduser' is much easier than adding them manually.
 Adduser will choose appropriate UID and GID values, create a home
 directory, copy skeletal user configuration, and automate setting initial
 values for the user's password, real name and so on.
 .
 Deluser can back up and remove users' home directories and mail spool or
 all the files they own on the system.
 .
 A custom script can be executed after each of the commands.

Description-en_CA: Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment - static binary
 AIDE is an intrusion detection system that detects changes to files on the
 local system. It creates a database from the regular expression rules that
 it finds from the config file. Once this database is initialized it can be
 used to verify the integrity of the files. It has several message digest
 algorithms (md5, sha1, rmd160, tiger, haval, etc.) that are used to check
 the integrity of the file. More algorithms can be added with relative
 ease. All of the usual file attributes can also be checked for
 inconsistencies.

 For ALSA to work on a system with a given sound card, there must be an
 ALSA driver for that card in the kernel. Linux 2.6 as shipped in linux-
 image packages contains ALSA drivers for all supported sound cards in the
 form of loadable modules. A custom alsa-modules package can be built from
 the sources in the alsa-source package using the m-a utility (included in
 the module-assistant package). Please read the README.Debian file for more
 information about loading and building modules.

Package: amavisd-new
Description-md5: d95fd9c270e69763b2674a7c7629b731
Description-en_CA: Interface between MTA and virus scanner/content filters
 AMaViSd-new is a script that interfaces a mail transport agent (MTA) with
 zero or more virus scanners, and spamassassin (optional).
 .
 It supports all common virus scanners (more than 20 different AVs), with
 direct talk-to-daemon support for ClamAV, OpenAntiVirus, Trophie, AVG,
 f-prot, and Sophos AVs.
 .
 AMaViSd-new supports all MTAs through its generic SMTP/LMTP filter mode
 (ideal for postfix and exim).  It is faster and safer to use the SMTP/LMTP
 filter mode than using the AMaViS pipe client.  It supports sendmail
 milter through the amavisd-new-milter package.

Package: anacron
Description-md5: cd9f07726e1ee3bc93fcfdb799520070
Description-en_CA: cron-like program that doesn't go by time
 Anacron (like "anac(h)ronistic") is a periodic command scheduler.  It
 executes commands at intervals specified in days.  Unlike cron, it does
 not assume that the system is running continuously.  It can therefore be
 used to control the execution of daily, weekly, and monthly jobs (or
 anything with a period of n days), on systems that don't run 24 hours a
 day.  When installed and configured properly, Anacron will make sure that
 the commands are run at the specified intervals as closely as machine
 uptime permits.
 .
 This package is pre-configured to execute the daily jobs of the Debian
 system.  You should install this program if your system isn't powered on
 24 hours a day to make sure the maintenance jobs of other Debian packages
 are executed each day.

Description-en_CA: language tool for constructing recognizers, compilers etc
 ANTLR, ANother Tool for Language Recognition, (formerly PCCTS) is a
 language tool that provides a framework for constructing recognizers,
 compilers, and translators from grammatical descriptions containing C++ or
 Java actions [You can use PCCTS 1.xx to generate C-based parsers].
 .
 Computer language translation has become a common task. While compilers
 and tools for traditional computer languages (such as C or Java) are still
 being built, their number is dwarfed by the thousands of mini-languages
 for which recognizers and translators are being developed. Programmers
 construct translators for database formats, graphical data files (e.g.,
 PostScript, AutoCAD), text processing files (e.g., HTML, SGML).  ANTLR is
 designed to handle all of your translation tasks.
