In order to fix this bug the code in ui/gtk3/views/catview_gtk.py for
_append_banner_ads() needs to become
smarter.
The current code will simply do a "exhibits_banner.set_exhibits(l)" when the
exhibits are comming
back from the exhibits API call. It should instead have a method that first
goes over the existing exhibits and
checks if the given packagename is availalbe in the xapian database, e.g. by
checking if:
Application("", pkgname).get_details(self.db)
works and does not raise a ValueError.
Alternatively we could pass a "db" reference to the scagent and let the agent
filter the non-existing apps out
(not not yet existing ones). The agent would also need to connect to the db
"reopen" signal to ensure that its
emiting the exibits signal again when new information from the
software-center-agent comes in so that the
banners can get updated.
