@TheNavyBear Is it this package?

[TheNavyBear]

Yes it is. I swear I repeatedly searched the repo last night using both the Chocolatey GUI search and the web search, and it wasn't showing up at all. I will try again on my system this evening, and hope it shows up this time.

[TheNavyBear]

@pauby I am not sure if there is a bug with the repo search, or if I have some weird issue on my end, but as shown below, when I search for this package even now (2022-06-02 at 1900PDT) it does not show up for me. It also doesn't show in the Chocolatey GUI (as seen below as well). Your link above takes me to it, so I know it still exists, I just can't seem to be able to search for it.

Not one for this issue thread, but it will be down to caching. The caching on the site can be problematic at times (we have work underway to resolve it, but it's not a quick fix).

[TheNavyBear]

Awesome, as long as y'all are aware of the issue I will deal with it while it is fixed. I know this wasn't the thread for this issue but wasn't really sure where it should go. Since it is something y'all are aware of, I see no reason to push it further or open new tickets for it (unless you would like me to, then just point me to where I need to post it, please). Thank you for the information.

@TheNavyBear I found this issue for it and pinned it. I did think we had more of those issues.
