Title:
  Dia's desktop entry given invalid package name "dia-gnome-gnome"

Status in “app-install-data-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I wanted to install dia via the software center. It wasn't found so I
  wasn't able to install it via the software center. I went to the CLI
  and installed it without problem. The same is with other software like
  i.e. perl. Why can't I search for this software and install it via the
  Software Center? Especially when it comes to software like dia it is
  bad because users who are not familiar with kubuntu won't be able to
  install it.

  I also couldn't find any document that explains why this happens. If
  this is "works as designed" then a message/button/link would be nice
  that gives an explanation.
