Public bug reported: According to the specification, if package A recommends or suggests package B, then package B should show up as an addon of package A in Software Center. This isn't happening. A specific example is wesnoth-1.8 which recommends wesnoth-1.8-music.
If it's not desired to show all recommended or suggested packages as addons, then the specification needs to be updated so that packagers know what to expect. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Add-on_packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: software-center 4.1.18 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-9.12-generic 3.0.3 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-9-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Aug 25 06:26:15 2011 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: software-center UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: software-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug oneiric running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833650 Title: Recommended packages don't show up as addons in USC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/833650/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
