[Bug 1174509] Re: Ubuntu 13.04 is saying that gnibbles is not installed but it is

[Adam Niedling]

** Description changed:

  I do have gnibbles installed, I can even start it with the Launcher and with the gnome-nibbles command in the terminal, but issuing "gnibbles" says it's not installed even thou apt-cache policy is telling me it is installed. Is this a gnibbles bug or an apt-get one?
  Are other packages affected too?
  
  krychek at ultraviolence:~$ gnibbles
  The program 'gnibbles' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
  sudo apt-get install gnibbles
  krychek at ultraviolence:~$ apt-cache policy gnibbles
  gnibbles:
    Installed: 1:3.8.0-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 1:3.8.0-0ubuntu1
    Version table:

+ Update: the same thing is happening with gcalctool! It looks like all
+ transitional packages are affected.
