Hi Gary, unfortunately the bug still persists even after following the
process you outlined earlier. After press the "Use this source" button, the
"Update Now" button is presented but every time I press it, it persists
even after the cache has been updated.

And yes, I am using version 3.0.2 of the Software Centre.
