I'm running F33 Mate, but I think I was also seeing the problem I'm asking about under at least F32, and maybe also earlier.
Dragora has two icons that I can put on a panel. One of them is supposed to be an updater. It works, afaict.
The other seems intended to do what it used to: permit me to slice and dice lists of apps, and to install or remove them. On any new install I used to use it heavily, eliminating apps I knew I'd never use, and adding ones not present by default that I do use.
Both icons do only the check for updates. Have I damaged something? Or is the exhaustive form deprecated?? If so, is there a replacement?
