Greetings Ubuntu Developers!
I was just browsing some sections in Synaptic, looking for lightweight
webbrowsers and image gallery creation. During my browse I found some
strange package placements:
w3m, a text based webbrowser, is placed in the section Word Processing
bluefish, a text editor, is placed in World Wide Web (multiverse)
florence, a virtual keyboard for X, is placed in World Wide Web
(multiverse)
All on Ubuntu 20.04(.3).
Weird. I installed w3m (on 21.04) to take a look.
$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep 'Package: w3m' -A 3
Package: w3m
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: web
$ apt-cache show w3m | grep Section
Section: text
It looks some kind of 'disagreement' between dpkg and apt while Synaptic
is an interface to browse apt info.
