Crash in ui/gtk3/panes/historypane.py: "GError: Failed to load icon"

The attached branch fixes it in one way. There are more ways we can do it.

Another one would be to include the needed icons into: "data/emblems/" and ship them as part of s-c. This requires
that we have the icons with the right copyright (i.e. with copyright assignment). If we can use the ones from the humanity-icon-theme I can add them and would actually prefer this approach.

Hi,

i re-downloaded the latest distro and everything worked fine I had some had
sectors on my HDD(i replaced it)i can't tell if it has a relation with the
bug I have been experiencing

thanks and regards
alaa

Hello Matthew, 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!

I have verified that software-center version 5.2.3 in precise-proposed fixes this bug per the test case given in the description.

Thanks!

This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 5.2.3

How can I fix it in my elementaryOS system? I've tried updating from precise-proposed, but I get the 'Release 'precise-proposed' for 'software-center' was not found.
