Ubuntu software no longer shows packages names

Asked by Star Man

Official Ubuntu Software app no longer shows packages names for Ubuntu repositories nor the Snap Store.
Sometimes they are needed. This feature was present some time ago.
How may I report this issue as a bug?

Followed all the suggestions, but they didn't work.
Ubuntu Software is working fine, it shows all available applications, being from the official repositories as well as from the Snaps store. But, the only thing here is the real packages names are missing, so I don't think this is a bug, but I actually think this is a removed feature, because Ubuntu 18.04 was missing them, too.
I think that is why all the suggestions in the page have failed.
