Package management tool



Hi,

on my new notebook I am trying to do more administrative tasks in
graphical tools to be able to answer beginners' questions in the unix
user group. That also means package management, which I usually do with
apt on the command line.

KDE Discover seems to not quite the package management tool I am looking
for. It only says that my Debian unstable offers like 2000 packages for
installation (the notebook alone has 2400 packages installed), it says
that the installation only has 240 packages installed. And it cannot
find the firefox browser.

(1) Am I holding KDE Discover wrong?
(2) If KDE Discover is not what I am looking for, what is the
    recommended way to do package management, install, deinstall,
    configure, purge Debian packages from the Debian archive
    on a KDE system?


Greetings
Marc
