[Bug 1294359] Re: apt-get cannot locate package it suggests me to install.

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu
better.

The suggestions for how a program can be installed is made by command-
not-found, not apt. I've therefore reassigned this.

I can confirm that command-not-found 0.3ubuntu9 on Ubuntu Trusty will
suggest to install synapse even though the package is not available.
(Synapse has been removed from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu, see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=739131 for details)

** Package changed: apt (Ubuntu) => command-not-found (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: command-not-found (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- apt-get cannot locate package it suggests me to install.
+ Suggests to install package synapse which is not available
