Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
Both gdebi and synaptic are not installed by default anymore. Is that enough of a fix? Software center is pretty important to the Ubuntu story. ** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508874 Title: Moving of 'gdebi', 'synaptic', 'software-center' and 'software- properties-gtk' to 'desktop-recommends*' Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I wish we could move the following packages from 'desktop*' to 'desktop-recommends*' * gdebi * software-center * software-properties-gtk * synaptic Reasoning: Many admins for business systems want to have these apps removed for safety and do not wish to play hide and seek on the menus; and also don't want to have to remove the 'ubuntu-desktop' package. It would be nice to shift the above apps to allow this to take place.
