Bug Description

If I try to open an apt link (e.g. apt://firefox), it works (if software-center ins't running, it starts and shows the package).
But if I try to open a link with more than one package (e.g. apt://firefox,chromium-browser,rhythmbox) it works only if it is not running: if it is already running, it shows a message saying that the package I'm searching can not be found in the repositories.

TEST CASE:
1) Open software-center 5.2 from precise
2) run in a different terminal "software-center apt,dpkg,aptitude"
3) Verify that there is message saying "Not found" appeared
4) install version from precise-proposed
5) close the running sotware-center
6) install software-center from precise-proposed
7) open software-center
8) repeat (2)
9) Verify that you get a list of packages now

Hello Davide, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-center into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
