Some people prefer software-center because it displays all packages, graphical or not. We could point them to gnome-packagekit but gpk doesn't do as much as software-center does.
Another reason I think people use software-center is because gnome- software is a bit buggy. I think switching gnome-software from aptdaemon to PackageKit (I presume for 17.04) will help here. If we try to remove aptdaemon at the beginning of the 17.04 cycle, that gives 6 months for someone to step up to port software-center to PackageKit. If no one does, it provides reasonable justification for why software-center isn't available for install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1616379 Title: software-center depends on python-debtagshw, which is not built anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1616379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
