I'm running Kubuntu 16.10. I searched its Software Center for a package called GnuCash, and it returned nil. Then I installed Synaptic, and it shows GnuCash as available but not installed. I don't understand that difference. Presumably Kubuntu's Software Center and Synaptic access the same repositories (those that /etc/apt/sources.list identifies). Why would they report different results for GnuCash?

What's "Software Center"? Is that something new for 16.10? -
I think so. It used to be called "Muon."Comment

In 16.04, there's "Discover". @here at least, GNUcash is in the list in Discover. Discover used to be called "Muon Discover" and there is also "Muon Package Manager." Muon Package Manager hasn't been maintained well and often breaks. The search function fails regularly. Usually, killing Muon and then re-launching it allows the search function to work again - but often only for a single search.
Frankly, you're probably better off with Synaptic until someone at the KDE project decides we need a functioning package manager.Comment
