Ubuntu Software Centre
Bug 973219: Ubuntu Software Centre does not display certain items in the

Bug 973220: Ubuntu Software Centre halts when trying to display certain items
in the Installed tab
Consider an item available from non-Canonical repositories, e.g. yad
(ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager).
If the item is not yet installed (e.g. yad), Ubuntu Software Centre
simply does not display it:
Using yad as an example:
1. Add yad's PPA (sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-
manager). Run sudo apt-get update.
2. In Ubuntu Software Centre, go to the "All Software" tab.
3. Type "yad" into the search bar.
4. Only Yade displays. It should also display yad (yad can be seen in
Synaptic Package Manager).
5. Fascinatingly, if you install the package (via the terminal or
Synaptic Package Manager) and then uninstall it, Ubuntu Software Centre
will now display it even after restarting the computer.
