** Description changed:

- 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.
+ The Show/hide technical items toggle should also be present in the View
+ menu, as it logically also belongs there.

** Summary changed:

- Feature req: menu to allow switching to the full Synaptic Package Manager
+ Add Show/hide technical packages toggle to the View menu

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
