@Emanuele there's really no point in saying "See this bug" on every bug that interest you, we do see them all regardless.

I designed the Software Updater on Ubuntu for PC, and the “Updates” panel in Ubuntu Touch System Settings. Unfortunately, I don’t understand this bug report. What do you mean by “having to go to unity 7 to upgrade packages on unity 8”?

[Emanuele Antonio Faraone (emanueleant03)]

 I meant that to update the packages if you are using unity 8 must go to unity because unity 7 because unity8 does not offer a tool for upgrades

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

Unity is a shell for launching and switching apps. There is no version of Unity that “offers a tool for upgrades”. So I still have no idea what this bug report is about.

Unity 7 and earlier run on systems where you use Software Updater to install both updates and upgrades.

Unity 8 runs on systems where you use System Settings to install both updates and upgrades. (That might change in future, but that’s the current design.)

Are you talking about a service?
