There isn't a software package called "lordofultima" in your current software sources.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can add some weirdness to this.

I am seeing this on an amd64 system running 12.04 (upgraded continually since Alpha 1). No amount of tinkering with apt sources either in the GUI or in /etc/apt/sources.list[.d/*] has any effect -- I'm unable to see any software for purchase in the software center.

On another system, I performed a fresh install of 12.04 (release) i386. I was initially unable to see the 'lordofultima' package. I opened the 'software sources' configurator from within the software center and noted that the partner repository was not enabled. Within a few seconds of checking the partner deb and source repos, the software center window showed the Lord of Ultima package and allowed me to download it.

Now the weird part: on the first (amd64) system, I was still unable to see the 'lordofultima' package. However, if I went to 'reinstall previous purchases' in the software center, it was there and I was able to click on it and get the full package info, and even install it! It now shows up when I search for 'lordofultima'. However, the 'for purchase' application section is still totally blank in the software center.

I'll apport-collect this first from the amd64 system that has the issue and then from the i386 system that doesn't. I am happy to add the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list from either/both system or try anything up to and including destructive/reinstallation tests.

I am experiencing the same problem described in the title.

I can add that I regularly see the "Lord of Ultima" banner in the Software Center highlights
After performing an apt-search via the command line, I had conformation that the requested package is *not* in my software list, whatever tool I may be using to try installing it.

It seems that todays upgrade corrected this issue. At least I can find it now.
