"update now", in ubuntu software-center, doesn't run if ubuntu is installed with no internet connection

[marco.pallotta]

Binary package hint: software-center

If:
1) Ubuntu is installed with no internet connection
2) then, after installation has finished, the internet connection becomes active
3) then, software-center is launched and a package is selected
4) the only button you can press is "more info" (no install button is present as software catalog is not updated)
5) then the button "more info" is pressed
6) then the button "update now" is pressed in order to update software catalog
7) then a windows with the info "Sorry, Ubuntu Software Center closed unexpectedly" is displayed
8) at this point if you try to press "report a problem" another pop-up window is displayed with the info "the problem cannot be reported: this is not a genuine Ubuntu package)

This is not related to bug #511260 as this issue is related to the "update now" function of software-center whereas bug #511260 is related to pop-up windows that randomly appears during the "normal" use of the software-center.

Tested with 10.04 development branch (20100224)

Thanks for your bugreport.

Could you please try the latest version of software-center in lucid? This particular problem should be fixed
in 1.1.14

I can confirm that update now dont work for me in 1.1.14 so I had to sudo
apt-get update

marco, did you happen to test this again? I will try to reproduce this the next time I do a clean install (will be soonish) so that we could get this fixed for Lucid+1 thanks

[marco.pallotta (marco-pallotta)]

It seems that the issue disappeared on Beta2.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]
