Can't get freepats when search "freepats"

[Xhacker Liu]

Binary package hint: software-center

When I search for freepats, I can't find it.
Instead, when I using synaptic, freepats is there.

I'm attaching a screenshot.

Thanks.

This is caused by the fact that we hide technical items by default plus a bug in the code "update_show_hide_nonapps()". It tests apps != pkgs but in this case we have 2 apps and 2 pkgs, but those are differen so the "show technical items" label should be displayed.

This may be enough:

This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 3.0.3

---------------
software-center (3.0.3) maverick; urgency=low

  * softwarecenter/view/softwarepane.py:
    - Fix incorrect hide of the technical items search bar
      (LP: #646584)
  * softwarecenter/backend/aptd.py, softwarecenter/utils.py:
    - Test if we have a Release.gpg file after a new for-pay repository
      was added. In the initial update() the backend/libapt does not know
      yet if a signed repo should be expected. If the Release.gpg file
      is missing, re-try the operation. This should fix the
      "unauthenticated" errors for the ricks-wallpapers purchase
  * softwarecenter/backend/aptd.py:
    - fix crash when the aptdaemon dies
    - improve logging for purchase processing
  * softwarecenter/log.py:
    - improve logging format
    - keep log in ~/.cache/software-center/software-center.log
