race when calling ClearCredentials because we don't wait until sso is finished

[Michael Vogt]

When testing software-center (https://code.launchpad.net/~gary-lasker/software-center/recommendations-sso-login-lp973612/+merge/102044/comments/221596 to be precise) I ran accross the following error:

This seems to be a race condition caused by the same app asking to clear the credentials, and before the CredentialsCleared signal is sent, the same app asks for the credentials again.

mvo, I will set as Invalid, if you keep having this after connecting (and waiting on) CredentialsCleared, please re-open.

Thanks!

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. The crash described in the description no longer occurs.

Many thanks!

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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