As my bug 292699 has (incorrectly in my view) been marked as a duplicate of this, I will repeat my comments from that bug here. My report doesn't constitute a wishlist, unless wanting an application to actually function fits that description.
The new adept manager installed with 8.10 does not function properly. Biggest problem: it doesn't show all available packages. In fact when you search for a package, it shows an entirely wrong set of packages. For example. Search for "apache". There's no sign of any apache packages shown, but Adept lists libclucene, libssl,librpc-xml-perl and ksystemlog. Apache CAN be installed using "apt-get install apache2" so the repository list obviously knows about it. This is a real pain because I seem to be lacking some Apache support files and with a working Adept I could find them, but with this I can't. The "state" and "requested" section is also totally un-intuitive. I THINK I've just about worked it out now, but I'm not certain about that. -- Improvements to search in Adept3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285050 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
