** Description changed:
Binary package hint: synaptic
In Synaptic, when I search for something like 'ubuntu-res', it fails to
find 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'. This appears to be universal with any
package that includes a dash as searching for 'ubuntu' reveals the
package 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'.
This is seen by 'abiword' and 'abiword-', etc.
$ lsb_release -a && apt-cache policy synaptic
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10
Codename: intrepid
synaptic:
Installed: 0.62.1ubuntu9
Candidate: 0.62.1ubuntu9
Version table:
*** 0.62.1ubuntu9 0

+
+ UPDATE: For 0.62.1ubuntu10 this behaviour changed to "A quick search for
+ 'word1-word2' will now find packages matching any of the words 'word1'
+ or 'word2', instead of the hyphenated combination 'word1-word2'",
+ crippling its usability, since *many* packages contain hyphens.
