need some help to find three packages
 

hello there,

I visited the packages repository to look for these packages through a
keyword search using their exact name but I didn't see any packages. I
am looking for:

1. xlibs-dev


2. libmysqlclient12-dev

3. magick6-dev

if some body could please tell me what packages these are in I would
appreciate it.

I use the apt-get command line utility.

These appear to be superceded, maybe. Using rmadison :

charlie@wecan:~$ rmadison xlibs-dev
xlibs-dev | 7.0.0-0ubuntu45 | dapper | all
xlibs-dev | 1:7.2-0ubuntu11 | feisty | all

charlie@wecan:~$ rmadison libmysqlclient12-dev
libmysqlclient12-dev | 4.0.24-10ubuntu2 | dapper/universe | amd64,
i386, powerpc

charlie@wecan:~$ rmadison magick6-dev
charlie@wecan:~$

magick6-dev came up empty, as you see.

good luck,

You can search using
apt-cache search <searchterm>

But this tool is not as efficient as the
aptitude search <searchterm>

It rather depends what you mean by efficient - aptitude is certainly
faster, but apt-cache is more likely to find an answer when you aren't
already certain of the name (and if you know the name, do you really
need to search?).

apt-cache takes a much looser approach to matching the search term. I
generally use apt-cache, and if it returns a huge number of results, I
might retry with aptitude.

Actually the opposite. Its more like if you aren't able to find something in aptitude, you go for apt-cache which searches with a looser approach. By efficient I meant that aptitude search <searchterm>* flags the search results with i, p, v or whatever (making the OP realize whether the software is installed and stuff like that in a jiffy).
