It doesn't affect only PPAs, it affects all sources changes. Also closing and reopening software-center isn't enough to make it aware of new sources.
The following allows me to immediately see the new source: <add any source, not just a PPA one> apt-get update update-apt-xapian-index software-center If I omit update-apt-xapian-index, then software-center is not informed about the changes until much later on, maybe until update-apt-xapian- index is launched from /etc/cron.daily/apt. ** Summary changed: - Software Center doesn't load PPA after adding it and update repositories. Need to close and open again to see the new PPA. + Software Center doesn't detect changes in sources until update-apt-xapian-index is ran by cron -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/782953 Title: Software Center doesn't detect changes in sources until update-apt- xapian-index is ran by cron To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/782953/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
