Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
This isn't so much a bug with software center as the software repositories themselves, but software center is doing some weird stuff too, so i thought i'd tag it anyway.
All the info about my OS and package versions should be in the attached reports (9.10 beta, latest packages as at the time of this post).
I opened the ubuntu software center to install AWN (Avant Window Navigator). First i did a search using the search bar and found "AWN Manager", only one item (screenshot awn_manager.png), and installed it. I try to access AWN properties (from the system->preferences menu) and i get an error (fatal).
Later, while browsing the software center i found another package called "Avant Window Navigator". Installing this fixed the errors with AWN.
What i find perplexing is that there are two packages for this in the software center, and even more perplexing is that only one shows up when i search "awn", even though they both contain awn in the title/description. If i search "avant" they both come up.
The packages need to be merged or "AWN Manager" needs to be removed (and Avant Window Navigator should show up for a search of "awn".
Another option is to set "Avant Window Navigator" as a dependency of AWN manager.
