software-center crashed with SIGSEGV in g_mount_spec_match_with_path()

[Alexey Degtyarev]

Binary package hint: software-center

I was browsing through software categories. Firewall settings application (ufw) was being installed in the background at that time. Then, software centre crashed. Ufw is marked as installed, but doesn't seem to work.

Hi!

Thanks for your bug report and sorry for the delayed response.
As you may be aware, during each cycle a lot of work goes into
software-center. However, over time we build up a long list of
bugs which are most likely no longer present in recent versions
of software-center.

In an attempt to clean up the bug list for software-center I am
expiring this bug because it meets one or more of the following
criteria:
- it would seem quite likely that this bug is no longer present
  in recent versions of software-center,
- the bug report does not contain sufficient information for us
  to reproduce and/or fix the bug,
- the issue is most likely in an external piece of code and has
  most likely been fixed since the bug was reported.

If you experience any problems in recent development versions
of software-center, please do continue to report new bugs.
Thanks again for your help!
