Thanks, Gary! This almost worked. So before the update, this is what happens:
1) Open USC 2) See the "Star Apps" banner 3) See it change to the Ultima banner (and see the four dots on the bottom right) 4) Immediately click on Ultima banner 5) See a "this package does not exist" message 6) Which is quickly replaced by the page for the ultima package Now after the update (and a cache purge): 1) Open USC 2) See the "Star Apps" banner 3) See it change to the Tickr banner (WITHOUT the four dots on the bottom right) 4) The other banners never appear 5) Unless I restart, in which case, they show up (I can't seem to trigger the race anymore, so that part of the bug seems fixed. Now it's just a matter of only the Tickr banner showing up, which is a regression introduced by the updated package.) ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-failed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986563 Title: Clicking banner about "The Definitive Guides to Ubuntu" in precise doesn't work on fresh install Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “software-center” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Bug description: SRU TEST CASE: This bug fix hides any banners for which the corresponding packages are not yet available in the Software Center database. Therefore, to verify you can simply test the banners in the updated version in -proposed as shown: 1. Update to the version of software-center in precise-proposed. 6. Launch Ubuntu Software Center again and click on any banner that is shown. 7. Verify that a package or list of packages is correctly displayed. SRU REGRESSION POTENTIAL: Regression risk low. Check that banners are displayed correctly and work properly as described above. --- To reproduce, click on the banner that says "The Definitive Guides to Ubuntu" (it shows a bunch of books). You'll see an error message like: Not found There isn’t a software package called “ubuntu-unleashed-2012 ubuntu-unleashed-2011 ubuntu-practical-guide ubuntu-server-book official-ubuntu-book ” in your current software sources.
