From the Ubuntu Packages search page: docker is a system tray for KDE3/GNOME2 docklet applications and docker.io is a Linux container runtime

I did the following search:

  • Ubuntu version: xenial
  • Term: docker

Exact hits

Package docker

  • xenial (16.04LTS) (x11): System tray for KDE3/GNOME2 docklet applications [universe]

    1.5-1: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 powerpc ppc64el s390x
