Look right down at the bottom of the package list and you should see it like here - =E2=95=AD=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 =E2=94=82 flycheck 20140422.657 unsigned On-the-fly syntax checking (Fl= ymake done right) =E2=95=B0=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 If you're unsure about it try doing *C-s flycheck* in the package list, then it will search for it, and find all instances of 'flycheck', and if you keep pressing *C-s* it will work through all it finds until you find the one that you are looking for. Sounds long-winded but it works.
