get_reviews_helper.py crashed with NameError in __main__: name 'app' is not defined

[Alexey Kotlyarov]

Binary package hint: software-center

I'm trying to reproduce bug #761357 with a new version of software-center. When that one occured, I was on a... hostile network which is known to RST connections in mid-way. So:
$ host reviews.ubuntu.com
reviews.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.89.106
reviews.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.89.105
$ sudo tcpkill -i eth1 host 91.189.89.106
Leave it running; open Software center and choose any program.

Hi Alexy. Thanks for trying to reproduce this bug.
Looking at the code, I can see that Michael fixed this bug in version 3.1.26.5 of software centre, which is the next version after the one you are using. I suspect the latest version is still waiting to make it into the archives so you may need to wait for that to happen (or use the latest daily build) to confirm that this is now resolved. Thanks for your follow up (I'll also post this comment on bug 761452 which this bug is a duplicate of)
