Ack, you're right.  My development machine has most packages installed,
so I rarely run into that limitation. ;-)

In that case then, you can actually find the answer at the web site[1]
you referenced in your original e-mail.  If you scroll down to the
bottom, there is a spot on that page where you can 'Search the contents
of packages'[2].  Using that, you can come up with the package name
after browsing through the results.
