Public bug reported:
Software-center stopped displaying reviews around the 10th of January 2014.
This happens for all apps (so far) in the software center.
A message saying "No network connection, Connect to the internet to see more
reviews." is shown in place of the reviews.
The computer does have access to the internet.
A useful traceback is printed in the stderr which should be in the information
collected from the ubuntu-bug program.
It seems that the review date string sent from the reviews server is not in the
expected format of the datetime.datetime.strptime function.
I have re-installed software-center with the --purge option.
The environment variable "SOFTWARE_CENTER_REVIEWS_HOST" is not set.
I have managed to do a bodgy fix on
/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/widgets/reviews.py by
inserting
raw_date_str = raw_date_str[:10] + " " + raw_date_str[11:19]
after line 538.
This fix is not ideal but it works. Perhaps someone with better
knowledge in programming and this program in specific could find a more
elegant fix. I have made a comment in the code describing the additional
line.
