Reproduce the issue in Mint 22.2 with Cinnamon 6.4.8 and mintinstall 8.3.9 by opening Software Manager and selecting “Show installed applications.” Trace how the installed-app list is assembled and compare it with applications installed through Software Manager; done means all installed applications appear in the view.
