Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
1) Perform search for installed package (e.g. "monodev" results in the "Mono Develop" package being returned at the top of the list)
2) Select first entry so that the "Remove" button is displayed
3) Amend search string so another installed package is returned top of the list (e.g. change string to "mono" and "Mono Runtime" package becomes first item in results)
Expected Behaviour:
Installed package has a "Remove" button
Actual Behaviour:
Installed package has an "Install" button (yet it also has a Green Tick overlay suggesting it knows it is installed).
Clicking "Install" results in the "Remove" behaviour occuring, leading to confusion.

Hi Craig, and thank you for your report. I can confirm the issue that you've reported in the latest version of Ubuntu Software Center in Precise, version 5.2.3. I'll add another screenshot to show the issue.
Thank you!
