[SOLVED] Add/Remove Program List Empty

[DarKnyht]

I started up ubuntu 8.10 this morning and was going to add an app, but when I went to the add/remove programs the list was empty.

Any advice on how to correct this?

Try reloading the package list in the synaptic package manager.
Or i think you delete up all the software sources.

Same problem here. Have tried reloading through synaptic and apt-get update. Still empty.

I presume a security update broke this?

try reinstalling gnome-app-install

sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome-app-install
