Bug 973217: Show or hide technical items remains when nothing is there in
Ubuntu Software Centre
Bug 973218: Ubuntu Software Centre does not display certain items in the All
Software tab
Bug 973219: Ubuntu Software Centre does not display certain items in the
Installed tab
Consider an item available from non-Canonical repositories, e.g.
Oracle's Virtual Box Guest Additions (direct from the Oracle website).
This example uses Oracle's Virtual Box Guest Additions when running from
Virtual Box. (Actually, you can replicate this in a system that is not
running in a Virtual Box, by omitting steps 1 & 2.)
1. Run Ubuntu in a Virtual Box (the latest one available from
virtualbox.org).
2. Install the Extension Pack (i.e. Guest Additions).
3. Open Ubuntu Software Centre and go to the "Installed" tab.
4. Enter "virtualbox guest" into the search bar. Nothing shows.
5. Select the down-arrow and choose any item, e.g. "Canonical Partners",
"Unknown".
6. The "thinking" circle (sorry, I don't know its name) in the window
turns around and around, and nothing else happens even when leaving for
several minutes. It should display either nothing or the installed
package. You can, however, choose a different option in Ubuntu Software
Centre, so it has not actually hung.
