software-center crashed with TypeError in display_search()

This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #560716. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

Accepted software-center into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Successfully verified that software-center 2.0.5 from lucid-proposed installs fine and can perform searches from the installed applications section.

This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 2.1.2
