** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: software-center
+ Ubuntu Software Center 3.0.6, Ubuntu 10.10
+ Ubuntu Software Center 3.0.6, Ubuntu 10.10
+ software-center-gtk3 trunk 2114, Ubuntu Ocelot
  
- I believe this is the last part of the specification [1] regarding apt:
- links that has not been fulfilled.
+ 1. Go to this URL: apt:epiphany?minver=123
+ 1. Go to this URL: apt:firefox?minver=123
  
- This would be particularly nice to see implemented this cycle, as the
- new http://apt.ubuntu.com is very likely to be launched by Natty's
- release, and if this was implemented, instructions to use the 'minver'
- syntax could be placed on the new website from the start and gather some
- publicity about using it.
+ What happens:
+ 1. Ubuntu Software Center opens to the screen for Epiphany, and says "Version 123 or later not available".
+ 2. USC navigates to the screen for Firefox, and doesn't mention the version number at all.
  
- [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#of the form “apt:package-
- name?minver=1.0”
