Installing libraries as opposed to applications
Since one of the goals of Ubuntu Software Center is to replace synaptic, will there be some kind of facility to install an individual library that is not associated with any particular application? Additionally, will there be a method to install non-gui CLI apps through Ubuntu Software Center? For instance, ttf-ubuntu-title is a font package that would be available for use in many applications, however, it is not available for installation through one of the GUI package managers, save for Synaptic. I realize that one can install via command line in terminal, however Synaptic is a good tool for searching or browsing for a particular file to install if one does not know the exact name of the file, so as a result, an error would be generated in the terminal complaining "Couldn't find package <misspelled-
