Title:
REGRESSION: crash in cell renderer
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “software-center” source package in Precise:
Fix Released
Bug description:
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.
SRU TEST CASE:
1. Update to the version of software-center in precise-proposed.
2. Launch Ubuntu Software Center from a terminal window as shown:
$ software-center
3. Navigate and view the details page for a few different packages. Choose
packages from different categories, etc.
4. Verify that crash stacktrace shown below never appears in the terminal
window.
SRU REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
Regression risk is negligible. This is a single line fix that checks for a
zero-length string before calling capitalize() on it, and this prevents the
crash reported in this bug.
NOTE also that since this fix has been released in Precise, the number
of occurrances has dropped dramatically on errors.ubuntu.com.

From errors.ubuntu.com , this looks like a regression in the new
capitalize code:
