Bug#858729: plasma-discover: too many bugs for the next stable



So, this is not a bug in Discover. Also, all of the issues outlined in
this bug report are minor annoyances which do not at all justify the
severity of "grave" for this bug report.
I am even tempted to close it:
* The search results are not Discover's fault, or are intended (see below)
* Discover will not show dependencies or packages - it is not a
package manager. If you want a package manager, use Apper or Muon.
* Displaying unrelated stuff to be removed when removing Gimp is
definitely a bug, but creating a clean, new one with normal priority
is a better idea here. Also, immediately reporting this upstream will
help.

Thank you for your explanation! However this is a little bit confusing for me
and I hope you can help me understand better the problem.

The issues that I reported appear in discover and even if they are not all bugs
of discover they unfortunately make discover unusable for me. I understand
that the search issue is not discover's fault but still, for an average user like
me, it is discover that cannot be used as intended. That is why the severity of
grave.

Also, why discover is not a package manager? The description says that it is
"a graphical software manager for the Plasma workspace".  Muon is "graphical
package manager for KDE" and Apper is "a KDE package manager based on
PackageKit". Ehr... it is really really confusing! What am I suppose to use?
Why having three almost identical software for kde?

Thank you.
