Description

The new software center “Ubuntu Software” doesn’t work for installing Tails Installer PPA, with a similar caching bug as with Ubuntu Software Center but no more workaround as update-apt-xapian-index has disappeared. I propose that we instead rewrite these instructions to rely on Synaptic which is more reliable, even if it will make the instructions more complex as Synaptic is not always installed on Ubuntu.

Actually, Synaptic itself is not listed by GNOME Software so it doesn’t bring anything to tell them to go through Synaptic as they would have to go to the command line to install it in the first place.
