Public bug reported:
With the Gnome Software Center (gnome-software
3.20.1+git20160426.1.a976144-ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu1) the option to
select or deselect certain additions disappears (as compared to the
earlier Ubuntu Software Centre). Example of this would be additional
gstreamer plugins with a media player install.
This can lead to more bug reports due to less transparency (user has no
clue what is being installed, main install fails because essential
elements are missing) and potential bloat (software centre installs
everything and the kitchen sink to make sure the install works).
A return of an interface with choice options as with the earlier Ubuntu
Software Centre seems preferrable.
