Ubuntu Software Centre version 4.04 Problem: Sometimes I have to use Synaptic Package Manager, because Ubuntu Software Centre does not return a valid result when searching for a package. Example (how to replicate): For example, I install nautilus-dropbox (from the Dropbox website). Later, I wish to find the package to check the version, uninstall or whatever. I use the search bar in Ubuntu Software Centre to find the package. I have tried "nautilus", "dropbox" and "nautilus-dropbox". All three of those should show the installed nautilus-dropbox package, but none of them do. Synaptic Package Manager, however, correctly displays nautilus-dropbox when I search for it.
