custom list doesn't find some apps when comma delimited

[Patrick Wright]

Binary package hint: software-center

Steps:
1 Search for gobby
versions 0.4 and 0.5 are listed

2 Search for gobby,9base

Actual: only gobby 0.4 is listed

Expected:
- the lastest version 0.5 (I might be wrong but that seems logical)
- Plan 9 should be listed

3 Search for 9base
* Plan 9 app is listed

The second case seems to be a regression, as on Maverick with software-center 3.0.7 Plan 9 is listed when searching for gobby,9base.

Hey Patrick! Custom lists were broken for a time (indeed, Robert, a regression) but this feature was fixed by kiwinote in version 3.1.25. Things seem to be working fine now. I'll attached screenshots just for the heck of it! :)

  * softwarecenter/db/update.py:

This first screenshot shows the result when building a custom list for "gobby,9base". Note that it returns Gobby version 0.4, since that version uses the package name "gobby". See next screenshot for how to show Gobby 0.5.

[Gary Lasker (gary-lasker)]

This one shows Gobby 0.5. Since Gobby 0.5 uses a different package name, you have to specify it as "gobby-0.5,9base".
