Hello I have installed haroopad.deb (markdown editor) through the Software Center. After that the program can be found unity dash search and starts fine. But the Software Center is unaware of the haroopad package - no Unknown category in Installed and no history of the installation. I was wondering what is the terminal command to force the software center to update its installed lists?

OS:Ubuntu 15.10 64bit VM + guest additions
