shows empty categories/can crash when the xapian db is re-build

[Michael Vogt]

Binary package hint: software-store

When the xapian database is rebuild (e.g. because a update-manager run was performed) while software-store is running it may crash or show no available data until its restarted.

I did see this behavior again, it seems that xapian.Database.reopen() is not enough.
