software-center crashed with AttributeError in _on_network_state_change(): 'UIReview' object has no attribute 'complain'

[Michael Terry]

I woke up from suspend and got this.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Software Center and navigate to an item that you have installed.
2. Scroll to the reviews area and note how each review has an "Inappropriate?" link and a "Did you find this review helpful?" link.
3. Disable networking.
4. After a short time, observe that the two items described in 2) above are hidden.

This appears to be happening when there is a review by the user, in this case the code does not create self.complain.
Looking at the code it does not actually make that much sense to hide this link but instead to hide the box itself, I
created a branch for that.

Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-center into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Gary Lasker (gary-lasker)]

I verified this fix in software-center version 5.2.1 in precise-proposed per steps to reproduce in the description.

Many thanks!

This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 5.2.1

Just crashed on me...

And on me.

And me also

[Paul Greindl (paul-greindl)]

For me this happens when I click "Was this helpful: Yes/No" or "Inappropriate?". In both 12.10 and 13.04. Don't know if it's in 12.04 as well...
