I normally use Synaptic Package Manager or the command line to install/remove programs in Ubuntu. Sometimes, however, I like to just look through the list with the descriptions and see how the programs are rated to make a decision on what to install.
Today I opened Add/Remove to find this…
Synaptic still works fine, but Add/Remove doesn’t show any programs whatsoever. After searching around the Ubuntu forums, I was directed to the fix. Simply type this line into the terminal
sudo apt-get install --reinstall app-install-data app-install-data-commercial
After this ran, everything worked perfectly. I talked to one person on the forums to see if he knew why this happens, but no one seems to know…Just one of the joys of technology I guess.
