The maintainer (not original author) considers it to be too much of a re-write to catch this instance that affects LSC only with alternate and the workaround works fine.

Workaround is launch X-Terminal and issue the command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lubuntu-software-center

There will be a lot of 'not found' errors, but the command will complete with no final error and LSC will list all available applications etc.

summary: - LSC can only 'see' installed applications
+ LSC can only 'see' installed applications - Work around released.

The part that builds the database I doubt has been altered. Jorn said it
was too much effort as it seems pretty broken. I'll give it a try when I'm
on the A1 test series after Christmas

Phill.
