software-center crashed with AttributeError in refresh_hosts()

thanks for the bug report. unfortunately our crash retracer was no able to collect enough information for us to know the cause of the crash. if you see this crash again please report it again.

This one's actually a bug in the OneConf plugin for Software Center. Under certain, generally rare, conditions, the value for "model" can be None and so this must be checked in the code.

Ah, I took a quick look at the OneConf code (usc_plugin.py) and I see the None value is for the *view_switcher* model rather than the list view tree model as I blindly assumed previously, so strike that last bit in comment #3.

So, it appears that we may be receiving an "inventory_refreshed" signal before the ViewSwitcher has been initialized in Software Center's app.py? Hrm, maybe as a result of the check_async_inventory() method? This is pretty much pure speculation, however, would need to dig in more to make a better judgement.

Over and out. Let me know if I can be of any help.

This bug was fixed in the package oneconf - 0.2
