Bug Description

Test case for Oneiric SRU:

1. Launch software-center.
2. Choose menu item "File->Reinstall Previous Purchases...".
3. Repeat step 2 three more times. Each time, the previous purchases should be displayed (there should never be an empty list).

I was attempting to do a reinstall of previous purchases, but they don't show up! I have purchased Braid.

I believe I was also attempting to install Google Chrome from google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb at the time.

Also, it generated an automatic error.

I jatoo, and thanks for your report. I can confirm this one. In my testing, I find that the first time I invoke "Reinstall Previous Purchases" in a new run of Software Center, the list appears correctly. It is only the second or third invokation of "Reinstall Previous Purchases" where this error appears.

NOTE that each restart of Software Center seems to clear the problem. jatoo, as a workaround until we fix this bug, please try restarting Software Center and hopefully you will be able to access your previous purchases list. If you still cannot, please report that here.

Thanks for your help!
