NOTE: This fix was actually released in software-center 5.2.2.1, but due to a copy error the changelog entry appears for this release too.
Note also that since this fix has appeared in precise-updates, the number of occurances of this bug on errors.ubuntu.com has dropped dramatically and should go to zero as more people update to the fixed version. Based on this I'll mark this as verification-done, for the purposes of the current SRU. Thanks! ** Description changed: + SRU TEST CASE: + 1.
