Hi. I'm brand new to this list but I ran into a problem with the search function in Synaptic and I was wondering if it's a known problem? Here's a summary from another list:
=====
> I switched usr-local-bin to the ftp.gwdg.de respository, updated my
> package list, and searched for abiword. The same problem occurred, i.e.,
> I could see the tools & plugins but not abiword itself. Again, I used
> the next button which dutifully highlighted the next tools package but
> when I got to the end of that list, nothing further was displayed. As I
> was trying to think of what to try next, I clicked on the next category,
> "Applications/Publishing" and, lo and behold, there was abiword in all
> its glory. It appears there is a bug in the Synaptic search function.
