I'll reply. I know the tech support game, and one of the most frustrating
aspects of it is that the strategy of demanding more troubleshooting from
users is used as a way to avoid having to deal with a design flaw in the
tool that generated the message. For the Update Manager to generate a
message
does not say when it installs a package. This is a
problem for technical packages. The reason I care is that I can't find
Synaptic
in my 14.04 install. It is in 12.04, so given what the Software Center
doesn't do, that is a regression.

Fallacy of assertion and tautology. Package Manager is not a Tech Support
because you assert that it is not a tech support tool, and there is no
convincing argument in your remarks to support the assertion.
I DID give some information on the failure, spacfic info, and as much as
