Wrong section for several packages in Software Center

[Sebastian Abate]

Binary package hint: software-center

Several packages are in the wrong section in Software Center, but in Synaptic appears in the correct one.
To name a few:

ttfm appears in "Fonts" in Sofware Center, but appears in "System Administration (Univers)" in Synaptic (it should appear in the "System" section)

likewise-open-gui appears in "Themes & Tweaks" in Software Center, but appears in "Networking" in Synaptic (it should appear in the "System" section)

And a lot more
aptoncd, gnome-disk-utility, gnome-bluetooth (all appears in "Themes & Tweaks")
wine (appears in "Office")

[Lucian Adrian Grijincu (lucian.grijincu)]

Confirmed in 1.1.26.
Does software-center use other mechanisms to select categories than synaptic?

ttfm is the "Time Travelling File Manager", but it's name begins with "ttf" which software-center appears to interpret as "TrueType Font".

This is the algorithm by which USC chooses departments and subsections: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Genre

If that algorithm is inappropriate or if USC is not following it, please report a bug on the software-center package. For example, bug 531570 covers the problem with ttfm.

When an item is in the wrong department or subsection, please report it as a bug on the package responsible.
