Bug Description
SRU TEST CASE:
1. open stock software-center
2. click on the "Installed" toolbar button very quickly while the main page is still loading
3. verify that there is a traceback (note that this does not happen always, just most of the time)
4. use the fixed version from -proposed
5. verify that (2) no longer produces the following (or any) traceback
SRU REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
Very low, but a possible regression is that the toolbar buttons may not be enabled when Software Center has fully initialized. Test launching and relaunching Software Center to confirm that the toolbar buttons always become active when the lobby view initialization is complete.
From errors.ubuntu.com:
If you click on "installed" while software-center is initializing (and the apt cache is not ready) it crashes with:
2012-05-03 18:01:16,188 - softwarecenter.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/scratch/
tmp_matches = enquire.get_mset(0, len(self.db), None, xfilter)
File "/scratch/
if (not pkgname in self.cache or
File "/scratch/
return self._cache.
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__contains__'

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__contains__'
Its often reported error so we need to fix it.
