Title:
Please Include Package Names
Status in GNOME Software:
New
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Gnome-Software does not include a software package's name in the
details section of each software it catalogs and I want this to be
added for the following reasons.
1) When submitting bug reports and feature requests, it is necessary
to know the package name. When I use gnome-software to install a piece
of software, I expect to be able to go back to gnome-software to
discover software's package name. Since it doesn't include this
pertinent detail, I'm having to use a number of command to discover
it.
2) Although I use gnome-software to discover available software, I
always like to collect that software's package name, so I can add to
my "sudo apt install" list, so that when I set up my computer from
scratch, I can use one command to reinstall all the software packages
I've installed previously.
These are my two reason, but I'm sure others have more. The bottom
line is, the package name is a very pertinent piece of information
that gnome-software should include in the details section of each
software it catalogs. Look at what is in the details section right
now. Hardly any of those details are anything I'll ever be interested
in, but the package name is VERY pertinent to me.
Please add this.
