Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: software-center

Using Software-center daily build 4.1.5~bzr1825~natty1 on Natty
Steps to reproduce
1) Go to the XChat-GNOME IRC Chat details page -> the XChat-GNOME Indicator 
plugin is listed as an addon
2) Check the plugin checkbox -> the Apply changes header appears
3) Click the Install button of the application (not the Apply changes)
What happens:
 The Apply changes header stays visible and when the installation has finished, 
and I click Apply changes, I get an error dialog about nothing to install
What should happen:
Either the Install should only install the application or (and I would prefer 
this to minimize number of mouse clicks required) when clicking the Install 
button and the Addons changed header is visible, it should be set to invisible, 
as Install also installs the Addons selected, so there will be no need to Apply 
the changes.

Thinking further, until the application is not Installed, there's no
need for the Addon changes header, as changes will be applied by
clicking Install, so the Addon changes should appear only if the
application is installed and there is a change in one of the addons
checkboxes.
