Hey again Michael. What you describe in the second section is actually
the *fix in operation*. We now filter out any banners for which the
corresponding packages are not all available. So, the first time you
start up after a cache purge, only Tickr has been verified, and so only
the Tickr banner is shown. After you restart, the agent has had its
chance to fully update, and the other banners are displayed.

In other words, this bug is fixed by the fact that we will never show a
banner for which the packages are not ready. As this condition becomes
satified as soon as the agent update is complete, this is not a
condition that lasts long (as evidenced by the fact that your next
startup showed all of the banners.

So, I'd like to propose that this is in fact verification-done (check
the test case, you've verified it it seems to me). Unless you find this
behavior unacceptable. It is definitely not a regression, in any case.

What do you think?

** Description changed:

  SRU TEST CASE:
  This bug fix hides any banners for which the corresponding packages are not 
yet available in the Software Center database. Therefore, to verify you can 
simply test the banners in the updated version in -proposed as shown:
  1. Update to the version of software-center in precise-proposed.
- 6. Launch Ubuntu Software Center again and click on any banner that is shown.
- 7. Verify that a package or list of packages is correctly displayed.
+ 2. Launch Ubuntu Software Center again and click on any banner that is shown.
+ 3. Verify that a package or list of packages is correctly displayed.
  
  SRU REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
  Regression risk low. Check that banners are displayed correctly and work 
properly as described above.
