The Starbuntu package manager pkg-manager (Shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+p) installs or removes one or several packages. After inserting the required user password the lists of the non-installed and the installed packages get created and then a window pops up containing the tabs for the installation or the removal of packages.

Now you activate the desired tab and then you click on some package to have the cursor activated in this tab. Then you look for the desired package by typing its first letters (preceded by '^') or an appropriate regular expression. Further packages can be added by clicking on their names while the control key is pressed. In case this should be too laborious you add any other package and click a second time on its name, then you type in place of it the name of the desired further package and confirm the entry with the Return key. If required you repeat this procedure in the other tab and finally you click on OK.

In case of desired detailed informations now these are displayed ome after the other. If desired you can also get the package contents displayed. A subsequent click on 'Cancel' terminates the program.

In case you click, however, on 'OK' the different tasks for installing or removing the chosen packages get executed interactively in the terminal.

Note: In order to limit the list of not installed packages, the library packages with name lib* and the kernel packages with name linux-* are not taken into account. This should usually not affect the functionality of the package manager. If such a package is still to be installed, you have to enter the command 'sudo apt install <package name>' and your user password in the terminal emulator.
