Searching for IRC does not list a bunch of relevant IRC application. E.g Irssi and Weechat is not listed in the search result.
Even worse, IRC support is not installed by default in Empathy in 12.10 (this should probably be a seperate bug report) Is IRC support available in Empathy in 12.10? e@B570e:~$ apt-cache search account-plugin-irc account-plugin-irc - Messaging account plugin for IRC Is it installed? e@B570e:~$ dpkg -l | grep account-plugin-irc e@B570e:~$ This is bad. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1048024 Title: nothing from Empathy shows up in "irc" search in Software Center Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: A user who wants to use IRC should be able to find Empathy as a way to do so. Unfortunately, searching in Ubuntu Software Center for "irc" doesn't return anything that leads to Empathy. The first result is some client called "tekka" (which crashes on startup); Konversation and Pidgin also make the list, among many others. There is no Empathy, or telepathy-idle (which the Empathy help tells me I need to use IRC in Empathy), or account-plugin-irc (which is from the empathy source package, and which people tell me to install to use IRC in Empathy.) I'm not sure how Software Center search works, but I expect a suitable tweak to the package metadata would fix the issue. I'm on 12.10 with empathy version 3.5.91-0ubuntu2.
