[Bug 805649] Re: Feature req: menu to allow switching to the full Synaptic Package Manager

[Robert Roth]

Thank you for reporting this bug.
Could you give us some examples of packages which are available in Synaptic but not available in Ubuntu Software Center? Did you toggle showing the technical items (by default, Software center only displays application, you have to click the bottom bar to show the technical items=standard packages)?

Title:
  Feature req: menu to allow switching to the full Synaptic Package
  Manager

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

Bug description:
  Could there be an option to switch to synaptic from the software
  center? It's rather irritating to find out the package I'm looking for
  is in the repositories, but is not shown in the software center; if
  I've just installed something, I still have root privileges, but to
  run synaptic I'd have to redundantly authenticate again.

  No biggie if this is out of the question due to security concerns, but
  as it stands the software center lacks many packages that are
  available to synaptic.
