where should the binary be located?

Atom is located under development section of any freedesktop (Gnome KDE etc)
Can always call with terminal – atom
Because it’s located in /bin
Hm, no atom editor. Here is what I did:
$ sudo swupd bundle-add atom
Loading required manifests…
No packs need to be downloaded
Validate downloaded files

Starting download of remaining update content. This may take a while…

$ ls /bin/atom*
ls: cannot access ‘/bin/atom*’: No such file or directory
Atom appears to have been deprecated as a native package. Looks like you can install it from flathub though: Flathub—An app store and build service for Linux
Yes it’s removed recently.
But I won’t recommend the flatpak one for it cannot find see files outside of the sandbox correctly.
Yes, that’s what I saw in the bundle file as well.
It is unfortunate that deprecated packages are still searchable and downloadable.
Doesn’t make for a good end user experience.
Thank you all.
I guess this is something related to how swupd works. It caches the manifest of manifests (MoM) locally, and that may has outdated information.
Is there any solution to this?
