Thanks for this additional information. The bug that got fixed is that the index is outdated on fresh installs and does not contain universe. There is a pending SRU fix for the problem that the index is not updated on upgrades quickly enough (bug #365151).
The bug described in comment 33 is probably still valid, when adding a new repository it does not index that immediately. That should filed as a new report. As for comment 31,32,34: please tell me under what circumstance you are hit by the problem. -- [Intrepid] Synaptic unusable - Can not find packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
