Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
It's currently not at all straightforward to install Unity 2D from the
Software Centre. When searching for 'unity' several "unity-2d"
components are displayed. However, installing these does not provide
the entire 2D environment -- several packages are hidden by default,
including the main Unity 2D package.
Expected behavior:
1. Search for 'unity' in Software Centre.
2. Select Unity 2D package and click 'Install'.
3. Unity 2D is available as an option at next login.
Actual behavior:
1. Search for 'unity' in Software Centre.
2. Four results are returned -- 'unity' and three packages whose descriptions
start with 'Unity 2D'.
3. Select each "Unity 2D" package and click 'Install'.
4. Log out and observe that no new sessions are available through GDM.
To actually install Unity 2D, the user must search for 'unity' and then
click 'Show $num technical items". Then the main 'unity-2d' package is
displayed and can be installed.
