[orca-list] Fwd: Different app centre in Ubuntu Mate

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

I was wrong again...

The package you look for is named gnome-software.

As Dave Hunt just alluded, I can't guarantee that it will work in Ubuntu Mate. Anyway you can try.

I realize now that my answer was out of topic, even more so as you alreadu know the apt command, sorry.

But maybe the name has changed, could be now gnome-center from an Internet search.
