[Bug 877302] [NEW] package (adobe-flashplugin) installed via command line (apt-get) not marked as installed in software center

[Lólindir]

Public bug reported:

I wanted to install 'adobe flash'.

I went to software center and found 2 packages: 'adobe flash plugin' and
'adobe flash plugin 10'.

I installed the flash plugin via command line: apt-get install adobe-
flashplugin

Afterwards I went back to software center to check if one of them is
marked as installed, but this was not the case. However 'adobe-
flashplugin' is really installed on my system.

Since the 'adobe-flashplugin' package is the same as the 'adobe flash
plugin 10' package in the software center, it should be marked as
installed (which is not the case).

Steps: (64-bit Ubuntu 11.10)
1. Open software center
2. Search for 'adobe flash': 2 results ('adobe flash plugin' and 'adobe flash plugin 10')
3. Notice that both plugins can be installed
4. (Notice that 'adobe-flashplugin' = 'adobe flash plugin 10')
5. Open terminal
6. sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
7. Open software center
8. Search for 'adobe flash' (or 'adobe-flashplugin')
9. Notice that both results ('adobe flash plugin' and 'adobe flash plugin 10') are still marked as not installed
'adobe flash plugin 10' should be marked as installed
