Muon and Synaptic

[Guest]

In some cases muon won't uninstall software

But synaptic will. Also I am wondering why muon reports 70000+ packages but synaptic 45000+
I would expect to have same number, they are all using same apt right? Anyway now I have to use both programs.
Does anyone seen this to?
