Public bug reported: I noticed this after installing Lightscribe on Ubuntu 11.10.
Synaptic displays "The list of installed files is only available for installed packages" instead of the file list. The package is indeed installed and I have used it. To reproduce do the following: cd /tmp wget http://download.lightscribe.com/ls/lightscribe-1.18.24.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb wget http://download.lightscribe.com/ls/lightscribeApplications-1.18.15.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb sudo apt-get install ia32-libs sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture lightscribe* sudo ln -s /usr/lib/liblightscribe.so.1 /usr/lib32/ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/liblightscribe.so /usr/lib32/ sudo ldconfig #run the package /opt/lightscribeApplications/SimpleLabeler/SimpleLabeler Now check synaptic and search for lightscribe then right click on the package and choose "properties" and click on the "installed files" tab and you will see "The list of installed files is only available for installed packages".
