How to install less common packages with tlmgr

Hi,

I want to install avm.sty. It is on CTAN:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/LingTrees/CDM/#jhf312307a6a3a2a68cb4b4f48cfcfaddd,
so I supposed it should be possible to install it with tlmgr. However:

# tlmgr list | grep avm
# tlmgr install avm.sty
couldn't find avm.sty

(BTW, there’s a small bug here: the last message does not end with an
\n, which makes the prompt follow it directly.)

Is there a trick to find out which package group contains a certain
file, or how to install specific files from CTAN? I could of course do
it by hand, but I like to have this automatized.

Cheers, H.
