Bug Description

i download a .deb package on debian website, because of a bug on ibus-chewing.

On my 32-bit laptop, click the ibus-chewing .deb package and open with software center.

wait it 30 sec, the "Install" button will become "Upgrade" button, and it says Upgrade is available.

And I upgrade it successfully.

However, I download its amd64 .deb package on my desktop.

the same step,

click it and open with software center, then there just a "Install" button

and i click "Install".

it didn't do anything.

so somebody suggest use dpkg -i <the package>, it's work.

they tell me don't download the package which the software center already have, official suggest use ppa.

But i still think it's a bug.

if fix it, it will have a great user experience.

the 2 computer both use ubuntu 11.10.

the desktop use amd64 version, the laptop use 32-bit version.

and the .deb download page http://packages.debian.org/sid/ibus-chewing

it's a really big bug in ibus-chewing 1.3.9 ubuntu used( if highlight the word you type, click anywhere, the word you typed will disappear on Chrome Browser)

(By the way, i just can speak a little English, maybe there some sentence you will confuse )
