When I start the Software Center it immediately gives me a fatal error on my fresh 15.10 installation in Esperanto.

I got the following traceback when I tried to start the software-center from the terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12972133/

I looked at the traceback and I noticed the error occurred in the file region.py.
In the method _get_region_dumb we try to split the variable loc with the delimeter "_", but the input string does not contain an underscore in the first place. The variable loc only contains "eo" at this point, since Esperanto is not connected to a certain country there is no country code.

I managed to fix the method _get_region_dumb by adding a try/except statement, but I am not able to do a pull request myself as I am not really an expert in Bazaar and branches.

Could somebody update the method _get_region_dumb in region.py and replace it with the following or an other similar method: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12972109/
I only added the last try/except statement.
