It's a bug because app-store are used by less-techy user who then don't notice what kind of package they have just installed. Or don't know why they should prefer one over the other.
Then they wonder why their (un-noticed snap)app can't access such folder or usb-thumbs …which is another problem. That wouldn't matter if there were no differences in usage between a .deb and a snap package ( or else ) but there are ( permissions, for example ). 1. Add the packaging type to name of app https://snapforum.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/d/d3e2afef29ed6c82f7f639c45a9710412f196d9d.jpeg and stop putting the legacy .deb package at the end. Its fair position is at first or second in the list. 2. Only show one item for an app ( instead of one item by type of packaging ) and then give the choice of packaging type on the installation page https://snapforum.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/4/4492aa0ca29706dec898db61cddfe371b4c18685.jpeg Better solution in my opinion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1790814 Title: Duplicate entries caused by debs and snaps offering the same application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-software/+bug/1790814/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
