100 % Agreed with Lonnie Lee Best. My opinion is every user should known what package is going to install. It is our right.
And there is no reason to hide that information. It is ONE line, ONE name. Nothing more, nothing less. @ Lonnie Lee Best Better use [b]Aptik[/b] for your SW reinstall. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568056 Title: Official Package-Names Not Shown in Gnome-Software Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The names of a packages (as you would type them when installing via a command prompt) are not indicated in gnome-software. Even when I use gnome-software to locate a package, I still want to know the package's official Ubuntu name, because I usually want to add that package-name to an command install list (sudo apt-get install package1 package2 package3), so that I can install all my packages at once the next time I do a fresh install. That fact that gnome-software can locate packages for me is great. The fact that it doesn't reveal the official name of the packages is lacking (for me).
