(Get the code!)
This particular crash seems to have happened while retrieving the PKGNAME value from Software Center's Xapian index. Xapian raises a DatabaseError, probably because the index is corrupted.
The solution for the apps lens is to somehow gracefully handle the case where the S-C index is corrupted. There are a few options; none very compelling though, so I will need a think about this. Problem is we can't regenerate the index our selves and we can't easily know when it has been fixed again...
