Hi! Thanks for your bug report and sorry for the delayed response. As you may be aware, during each cycle a lot of work goes into software-center. However, over time we build up a long list of bugs which are most likely no longer present in recent versions of software-center.
In an attempt to clean up the bug list for software-center I am expiring this bug because it was filed against an old version of software-center which shipped in Ubuntu 11.04 and in addition it meets one or more of the following criteria: - it would seem quite likely that this bug is no longer present in recent versions of software-center, - the bug report does not contain sufficient information for us to reproduce and/or fix the bug, - the issue is most likely in an external piece of code and has most likely been fixed since the bug was reported. If you experience any problems with Software Center in Ubuntu 12.04, please do continue to report new bugs. Thanks again for your help! ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Expired -- 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/803418 Title: software-center crashed with ImportError in rescan(): No module named history Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Using Software center 4.0.3 on Natty Steps to reproduce: 1) Start software center 2) When the application starts up, click History in the sidebar as fast as you can (before the Get Software tree gets expanded, PPAs and sources appear) What should happen: you should get to the history after a time What happens instead: the history loading spinner keeps spinning indefinitely, and an apport report bug window appears. Additionally, closing and starting software center again brings up only an empty window, and you can not use software-center, only after you killall software-center instances and start again. --- Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: software-center 4.0.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic-pae 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic-pae i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Jun 29 14:48:59 2011 ExecutablePath: /usr/share/software-center/software-center InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) InterpreterPath: /usr/bin/python2.7 PackageArchitecture: all ProcCmdline: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/software-center ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash PythonArgs: ['/usr/bin/software-center'] SourcePackage: software-center Title: software-center crashed with ImportError in rescan(): No module named history Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/apt/apthistory.py", line 115, in rescan self.transactions = cPickle.load(open(p)) ImportError: No module named history UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-06-07 (22 days ago) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout kvm libvirtd lpadmin plugdev sambashare To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/803418/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
