Bug Description

Latest Ubuntu Xenial release does not have Exaile packages in repositories. Installing downloaded package from 15.10 works but it should be available from software installer.

This is because exaile was removed from Debian sid (see https://bugs.debian.org/813255 for rationale), and the removal propagated to xenial. The only reason why exaile is still installable in xenial is because gstreamer0.10 still happens to be available in xenial (it'll certainly be removed in Ubuntu at some point as well).

See https://github.com/exaile/exaile/wiki/PyGI-migration-tasklist-%28GTK3-GStreamer-1.x%29 for info about upstream's porting efforts to gstreamer 1.x.
