Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

That version is no more maintained

Sorry that nobody could resolve this bug report before Ubuntu 11.10 expired. There have been many changes to Ubuntu Software Center since then, so the bug may have been fixed. If you still experience it in a current version (14.04 or 15.04), please reopen the report.

[Expired for software-center (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
