Which button?

Thank you, we'll have a look.

Can you post the version number of LSC please?

[Jonathan Marsden (jmarsden)]

@michaelrawson: The version number of LSC was already included in the bug description from apport:

  Package: lubuntu-software-center 0.0.2-0ubuntu1

It's probably better not to ask users for info that apport automatically gives us :) If there is more info that you would like LSC bug reports to include, adding apport hooks to the LSC package to provide it would be a good approach to take.

[Michael Rawson (michael.rawson)]

Oops....that's really embarassing. I had no idea that was there at all...sorry. I shall read up on apport hooks.

Sorry, fabio.

On the original topic, would you mind obtaining the latest (0.0.4) and seeing if this is still an issue.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Stenten (stenten)]

I just got this same bug in lubuntu-software-center 0.0.4-0ubuntu1.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

It would be easier if you can provide a step by step way to reproduce the bug. Forwarded upstream as it's affecting 0.0.4

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

I'm able to reproduce the bug by following the steps to reproduce of bug 942944 :
- Search "acid"
- Add acidrip to the basket
- Install it
- Click on Get more software
- Click on Installed applications
