Of you are not sure about the exact name of the package you want to install, you can search for it.
Your results may differ on an Ubuntu system (I'm on Debian Testing), but the commands are the same. You can use either 'apt-cache' or 'aptitude' (You do not need root rights to perform a search for a package!):
aptitude search blender
i blender - Sehr schnelle und vielseitige Suite für 3D-Modellierung/-Rendering
i blender-dbg - debug symbols for Blender
p blender-ogrexml- Blender Exporter for OGRE
p blender-ogrexml-1.8 - Blender Exporter for OGRE
p yafaray-blender2.5-exporter - transitional dummy package for yafaray-exporter
'aptitude indicates whether a package is installed: 'i' at the beginning of the line or not : 'p' (Don't know what that stands for, maybe potential install candidate?)
apt-cache search blender
idjc - grafischer Client für shoutcast/icecast
spe - Stani's Python Editor
wings3d - An Nedo angelehnter 3D-Polygongitter-Modellierer
yafray - Ein moderner Bildberechner, beruht auf Strahlverfolgung, spricht XML
blender - Sehr schnelle und vielseitige Suite für 3D-Modellierung/-Rendering
blender-dbg - debug symbols for Blender
create-resources - shared resources for use by creative applications
fracplanet - Fractal planet generator
libpano13-bin - panorama tools utilities
morse-simulator - Multi-OpenRobot Simulation Engine
morse-simulator-data - Multi-OpenRobot Simulation Engine
morse-simulator-doc - Multi-OpenRobot Simulation Engine - Documentation
blender-ogrexml - Blender Exporter for OGRE
blender-ogrexml-1.8 - Blender Exporter for OGRE
rgbpaint - simple pixel-based painting program
whitedune-docs - documentation for whitedune
yafaray - modern, xml-speaking raytracing-based rendering system
yafaray-blender2.5-exporter - transitional dummy package for yafaray-exporter
yafaray-exporter - modern, xml-speaking raytracing-based rendering system
repsnapper - STL to GCode Converter and print software for RepRap machines
Surprisingly 'apt-cache search' (that is the command for the apt-get tool) finds more packages. I didn't expect a difference here. Both are not only looking for the search term 'blender' in the package name but also in the description for the package, so you will get more than the package itself.
BTW: Does anyone know why 'apt-cache' finds more packages than 'aptitude'?
As far as I know, there is no problem using both 'apt-cache' and 'aptitude' for search, in contrast to being advised to stick to one tool when installing packages. You are actually not modifying your system when searching. Please correct me someone, in case I'm wrong on this point.
I hope this will help you somewhat.

Pascal
