Public bug reported: When Ubuntu Software (package ubuntu-software) replaced Ubuntu Software Center (package software-center) in 16.04, we made some changes which focused on the new name.
https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/addremove-install.html However, there is a limitation with Ubuntu Software compared to its predecessor: It shows and installs applications rather than packages, and thus various help tools cannot be installed through Ubuntu Software. A suitable GUI to browse and install packages is Synaptic (separate page already exists). An improved description of Ubuntu Software, including this limation, would be desired. ** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637861 Title: Description of Ubuntu Software needs update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/1637861/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
