Comment 13 for bug 782953

Yeah im amazed that this has not been sorted yet. Its one of those bugs I experience all the time while using Ubuntu and its the same for anyone else who uses PPA's. The fact that Synaptic works better with PPA's than the new modern USC is pretty embarrassing.

In Synaptic I can add a PPA, reload the packages and it even puts the PPA packages under a section called "New in repository". How neat! Now, if only USC was half as good and could just reload the packages for us.
