[Bug 799994] Re: ubuntu software center does not display installed apps in get software screen

[Gary Lasker]

Hi Jimmy, thanks for your report. If you are seeing only uninstalled
software while in the Get Software section, then this is definitely a
bug as Get Software should always display both installed and uninstalled
software as it always has. The only exception to this is the What's New
section on the front page, where we hide those items that are already
installed because it doesn't seem useful to recommend software that
someone already has.

According to your report details, you are at software-center version 4.0
in Natty. We have actually released a few updates since Natty release
day and software-center is now at version 4.0.3. When you have a moment,
would you please update to the latest version using Update Manager, and
then check again to see if this problem remains? And please report back
here to let us know.

Thanks for your help!

Title:
  ubuntu software center does not display installed apps in get software
  screen

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  When I choose Get Software, it only shows packages I do not have
  installed. Before, it showed all packages, whether installed or not,
  that met my search or category. The old behavior is better vecause I
  can check all my apps in one place. This has caused me hours of
  confusion and annoyance.
