This particular crash seems to have happened while retrieving the
PKGNAME value from Software Center's Xapian index. Xapian raises a
DatabaseError, probably because the index is corrupted.
The solution for the apps lens is to somehow gracefully handle the case
where the S-C index is corrupted. There are a few options; none very
compelling though, so I will need a think about this. Problem is we
can't regenerate the index our selves and we can't easily know when it
has been fixed again...
