I have noticed while installing some of the packages on my newly installed linux system that the package managing software (Synaptic) sometimes doesn't display all packges. This issue occurred to me when trying to install amarok2. I did add all the needed repositories and tried searching for the package amarok-kde4 that should contain the software. But alas there were no results. I had to do this via the console by issuing
Then everything worked. I cannot actually remember the names of the other packages that this happened with (it is not a very frequent thing), but if I encounter other this problem again with other packages I will write it here.
Any ideas why something like this could happen?
Anyway, the same thing happens almost constantly using adept, and it is one of the most important reasons I switched to using Synaptic. For example it could not find grub-doc, fam, fileschanged etc. I am worried now beacause kubuntu uses adept automatically to check for updates, but what if in a similar way the
or equivalent command does not see all the updates? Is there any way to make kubuntu use synaptic?
Thanks!
Code:
sudo apt-get install amarok-kde4
