Ubuntu Software Center 5.2.2.2, Ubuntu 12.04 The Precise Pangolin
[TEST CASE]
1. Launch the current Ubuntu Software Center in Precise.
2. Click the down arrow in the toolbar next to the "All Software" button, and
choose the "Independent" item.
3. In the list of displayed items, choose an application that is not yet
installed.
4. Click the "More Info" button.
5. In the details view for the application, click the "Install" button.
6. Enter the password for the install if prompted.
7: At the very *end* of the installation process (when the progress bar has
completed), verify that no icon for the installed application has been added to
the Unity launcher.
8. Close Ubuntu Software Center.
9. Update to both the software-center *and* unity packages in
precise-proposed.
10. Repeat steps 1 through 8.
11. This time, at the very *end* of the install process, verify that the
corresponding icon "flies" to the Unity launcher and is added there.
12. Click the launcher icon and verify that the newly installed application
launches.
[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
Risk of regression is very low. Probably the only thing you might watch for
would be an unexpected exception reported. If anything like this occurs, of
course, please note it in the bug.
