Public bug reported: After installing Ubuntu 12.10, I ran Ubuntu Software Centre and searched for the package "aptitude". No packages were found.
I installed aptitude using "apt-get install aptitude" which worked fine. But all ubuntu packages should be able to be found and installed from Ubuntu Software Centre. FWIW, I had exactly the same problem with Ubuntu 12.04.
