Title:
Canonical Partners software listing is confusingly incomplete
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: software-center
I was looking to install the sun-java6-plugin from the partner
repositories and opened software center. In the "Canonical Partners"
section I saw some applications but not the one for which I was
looking. I checked with rmadison and it shows up in natty-partner.
Come to find out I didn't have the partners repository enabled in my
/etc/apt/sources.list. After enabling it seeing that software center
was updating I still didn't see it in the list until after I restarted
software center.
Its really rather confusing that there is an incomplete list of
software in the Partners section as it leads one to believe they the
partners repo enabled when they may not. In my mind the list should
either be complete and tell you to enable partners when you go to
install something or there should be nothing there until you've
enabled it.
