Bug Description

'More Suggestions' in Dash App Lens show false negatives for some (or should I say most of the cases?) applications that are already installed. It shows those apps in 'More Suggestions' for installation, though they're installed in the system.

Yep. Still showing (after a restart) the same apps as suggestions while I have them installed.

No, the Ubuntu Software Center shows them as installed. It's okay. The problem lies with Unity Dash App lens. I think somehow it can't sync with Software Center data.

If that helps: I installed these applications using apt-get, not with USC.

As part of the big bug review for 16.04 LTS I have tested this on 15.10 and the bug is still there.

The list of suggested applications remains always the same, even if you install some of those applications directly from the Dash, apt-get or Ubuntu Software Center.
