As I mention in my duplicate bug #1733776, the Debian policy hints against this design choice:
>From https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#the-single-line-synopsis: > Do not include the package name in the synopsis line. The display software > knows how to display this already... As for the related gsetting, it's true by default, but even one sets it to false, it doesn't respect it: $ gsettings get com.ubuntu.update-manager summary-before-name false So at least that part is a BUG, update-manager doesn't do what it claims in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.ubuntu.update-manager.gschema.xml: <key name="summary-before-name" type="b"> <default>true</default> <summary>Show package summary before package name in update list</summary> <description>If this key is set, the main update list window will show the package summary before the package name.</description> </key> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655998 Title: Update Manager listing should show package names, not just descriptions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/655998/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
