Fails to list all active PPA's

Binary package hint: software-center

The Software center does not list all active PPA's in my sources.list file as expect but just one.

Can you please add your sources.list file? Thanks.

Here is my sources.list !

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Could you please run "sudo update-apt-xapian-index" and restart software-center? Does that help and show all PPAs?

[Gary Lasker (gary-lasker)]

Hi mvo, I can confirm this bug. Added PPAs are not showing up in as channels in the navigation pane. I don't see them showing up in the xapian queries either, even after a 'sudo update-apt-xapian-index' and software-center restart. I'm currently investigating.

[Gary Lasker (gary-lasker)]

I retract the latter part of my last comment. Running 'sudo update-apt-xapian-index' and restarting software-center does in fact cause the newly added PPA to appear in the list.

So mvo, the potential fix appears to be what you have suggested; that we need to update the database index more often, specifically upon adding or removing a source (as this is a time-consuming operation, we want to do this only when necessary).

Confirm that running sudo update-apt-xapian-index indeed fixes this problem

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

This should be fixed with the latest software-center (1.1.23 contains the latest fixes but its still in unapproved). 1.1.22 should already be much better but misses a case where sources are added.

[Gary Lasker (gary-lasker)]

Fix released with software-center 1.1.23.
