You have been subscribed to a public bug: I needed to re-install recordmydesktop for some debug usage and opened up the Software Center in Xenial and attempted to do so.
Searches for 'recordmydesktop' in the software-center returned nothing, as the screenshot shows. However, it's plainly available if you do an apt-cache search: bladernr@galactica:~$ apt-cache search recordmydesktop gtk-recordmydesktop - Graphical frontend for recordMyDesktop screencast tool recordmydesktop - Captures audio-video data of a Linux desktop session So it seems that the software-center is not aware of some things (maybe only in Universe?)
