Title:
  Replace "Not found" screen with a spinner until the apps list has been
  updated

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “software-center” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When an application is searched for (or accessed directly through the
  command line or an apt:// link) if the app is not in the current list
  of available apps then a simple "Not Found" screen is displayed.

  This has one issue: 3 seconds after USC has started up, it updates the
  list of apps available from MyApps, at which point it could happen to
  receive an app that matches the given package name.  If this happens,
  the "Not Found" screen will be replaced with the application view.

  This is a bit confusing, as the "Not found" screen really sounds
  final.  It would be better to display a spinner until the list of apps
  available from MyApps has finished updating, at which point the
  spinner can be replaced by either a "Really not found" ( :P ) screen,
  or the app that was just found.
