Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
Michael recently fixed a bug whereby packages with a "." in their name would not properly display their icon in the software center listings. (The fluendo codecs, as an example) However, the icons still failed to show up until I manually deleted my software center cache and restarted the app.
Caching in general seems to be a bit too aggressive as it can be ~1 hour before new apps show up, for instance. It would be nice if there were some sort of "Reload" button.

I believe these problems are fixed in recent versions of software-center. Many thanks!
