Reassigning to gnome-software rather than the (ubuntu) software-center. At the moment gnome-software appears to show only those apps which are both already installed on my system and have a desktop file.
** Package changed: software-center (Ubuntu) => gnome-software (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551273 Title: Software Center only provides a subset of software available in repos Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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?)
