Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
I have a ppa (ppa:linaro-infrastructure/launch-control-snapshots) that
had (at the time of the incident) four packages, one of them being
python-django-testscenarios. I launched software-center to inspect that
PPA and found that only three (other) packages were listed.
After talking with mvo (Michael Vogt) we managed to pinpoint the problem
to a "stale cache".
Some notes from the conversation:
* running sudo /usr/share/software-center/update-software-center DID NOT not
make the cache valid
* running sudo update-apt-xapian-index DID make the cache valid
* the package in question was previously installed from a locally built .deb
file (version: 0.1-1) and then upgraded to a version built from a launchpad
recipe into the PPA (version: 0.1+2-0ubuntu1~maverick1)
* apt-cache policy reports only one version in the version table
(0.1+2-0ubuntu1~maverick1, the one from the PPA)
*
/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_linaro-infrastructure_launch-control-snapshots_ubuntu_dists_maverick_main_binary-amd64_Packages
at the time of the incident DID contain all four packages
Please post questions if necessary.
