This happens in a oneconf call:

    all_hosts = self.oneconf.get_all_hosts()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/oneconf/dbusconnect.py", line 150, in get_all_hosts

It seems to me that this fix wants to be in oneconf. Didier or anyone, is there something that we ought to do in software-center for this case? Please let me know!

Thanks,
Gary

Hi all. I have taken a closer look at the reports of this bug and I note that the last reported duplicate was for software-center version 5.1.13.1 and was reported on 3/21, which was a full month before final release. Of course, the "affects me" dates are not trackable, and so as a further check I have taken a look at the top 20 software-center bugs from errors.ubuntu.com and this bug does not appear there either. So, I am going to assume that this has been fixed during the month before Precise final and close this one.

If anybody experiences this crash again, please, of course, reopen!

Many thanks all,
Gary

It still affects me on 12.04, all up-to-date. But I can't change status.
