Public bug reported: Binary package hint: synaptic
Synaptic should be able to tell you which repository a package came from. For example I just compiled a detailed bug report concerning the package "realplay" (it installs realplayer 10, not 8) and then discovered that launchpad didn't want it because it wasn't an ubuntu package, despite the fact that the maintainer has an ubuntu.com email address. I just cannot remember where it really came from. This was quite confusing and a real waste of time. Maybe it was one automatix brought in from Edgy. I guess I'll have to check. Such a feature would also help you work out if a particular 3rd party repository were causing mayhem on your machine. ** Affects: synaptic (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Confirmed -- synaptic should be able to tell you which repository a package came from https://launchpad.net/bugs/63111 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
