2012-04-04 09:31:42 Paddy Landau description As instructed, this is a split from bug 972310. Related bugs: (to be added in a few minutes) Consider an item available from non-Canonical repositories, e.g. yad (ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager). If an item is already installed, there can be inconsistent results. Using yad as an example: 1. Add yad's PPA (sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager). Run sudo apt-get update. 2. Install yad (through the terminal or Synaptic Package Manager, as you cannot do it through Ubuntu Software Centre). 3. In Ubuntu Software Centre, go to the "Installed" tab. 4. Enter "yad". Nothing displays; it should show yad. It will display only if you select the down-arrow and choose the appropriate PPA Manager. I would expect the default action to show everything installed. As instructed, this is a split from bug 972310. Related bugs: Bug 973217: Show or hide technical items remains when nothing is there in Ubuntu Software Centre Bug 973218: Ubuntu Software Centre does not display certain items in the All Software tab Bug 973220: Ubuntu Software Centre halts when trying to display certain items in the Installed tab Consider an item available from non-Canonical repositories, e.g. yad (ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager).
