Official Package-Names Not Shown in
I do recall posting upstream at some point, but those damn idiots at
GNOME rarely grant any suggestion. I'm done with GNOME!

I agree with the above comments that the package name should be shown in
the details and it's just one word string that won't affect the
simplicity of gnome-software UI. Did anyone reported this bug upstream
(Gnome)? Cheers

The fact that I (and others) want to know the package-name is reason enough,
but I already gave other good reasons in post 4:

Post 6 was to emphasize how difficult it can be to find the package name and to
That still doesn't include information on why you need to know the package name
at all...
In any case, most stuff in the AppStream cache can be queried via `appstreamcli
search audovia` (and it shows the package name on the CLI).
If you really think this is necessary, I suggest you to take this
Use Case:
Today, I discovered "auovia" in gnome-software:
http://neartalk.com/ss/2016-05-16_002_1200x1011.png
Before installing it, I'd like to take note of its package name. Since
gnome-software doesn't provide that information, I attempted to find it
myself:
user@pc:~$ sudo apt-get install
100 % Agreed with Lonnie Lee Best.
My opinion is every user should known what package is going to install.
It is our right.
And there is no reason to hide that information. It is ONE line, ONE
name. Nothing more, nothing less.
@ Lonnie Lee Best
Better use [b]Aptik[/b] for your SW reinstall.
1) Previous software managers, in Ubuntu, indicated the package-name
upon viewing the details of software, and therefore it has become my go-
to-GUI for discovering package-names.
2) Even when I use a GUI to install software, I like to take note of the
official package name so that I can add that
The package name is a technical detail which holds no interesting information
at all for the non-technically experienced user who just wants to install an
application.
Therefore, it is highly unlikely that this will ever be shown in GNOME
Software, and honestly, I don't see any reason - even
