software-center crashed with AttributeError in __init__()

[Ara Pulido]

Binary package hint: software-center

On a new Lucid daily installation (20100305).

Every time I open the software centre, it crashes.

If you can reproduce it, can you either attach sources.list or add a "print channel" to /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/view/viewswitcher.p (before line 172) and give me the output?

Seems to be related to Ambiance theme:

"No styling hints for Ambiance are available"

@Steve : thanks for this information - do you get the same backtrace as ara ? Or just the error output about Ambiance?

@Ara, Please could you check if this issue is still affecting you under software-center 2.0? Thanks!

I haven't experience this bug in a while.
I will reopen if I see it again. Thanks!
