Rhythmbox downloads Magnatune catalog forever and never finishes

[Tomasz Chrzczonowicz]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When I select Magnatune from Rhythmbox' sidebar, a message "Loading Magnatune catalog" appears in the status bar.

But it doesn't seem to ever finish.

When run from terminal emulator with rhythmbox --debug:

[0x1aac040] [rb_statusbar_sync_status] rb-statusbar.c:444: updating status with: 'Loading Magnatune catalog', '', -1.000000

appears several times per second, but nothing else seems to happen.
