Comment 1 for bug 973219

Hello Paddy. This sounds like a duplicate of bug 652914. If yad is a non-desktop app, then there should be a "Show N Technical Items" link at the bottom left of the Ubuntu Software Center window. If you see that there, please click it and the yad package should show up.

If this occurs and you can successfully view the package, please let me know and we can close this bug. If it doesn't, please let me know that as well. :)
