Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
This is observable with software center 2.0.3 and the trunk branch as well.
TEST CASE:
1) Launch software center and the system monitor to watch the memory consumption
2) Click on the "Provided by Ubuntu" entry on the left, wait for the list to (re-)load
3) Repeat step 2 several times.
4) verify (using htop or top or gnome-system-
5) install software-center from lucid-proposed
6) restart software-center and repeat step 2
7) verify that the memory consumption does increase much less
Expected result: the memory consumption increases the first time, then remains stable.
Current result: the memory consumption increases by approximately 12MB every time the list is re-loaded, and is never re-claimed. This eventually results in a very high memory consumption.
