Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-store

If you have an application in software-store that is installed and a new version of it is available to update/upgrade you cannot remove it, there is only the one button and it gets allocated to upgrading

Fixed as we no longer have an upgrade button :-)

However this bug will probably come back to haunt us for 2.0...

This is a very serious issue for me, as I can't update Wine, or uninstalll it.

I had added a new repository for the beta version of wine, and it says that the existing Wine software is preventing me from upgrading. I can't uninstall it, because I have to update to uninstall, and I cant update, because I need to uninstall it.

This is fixed in lucid now. The upgrade button is removed and it will only show [install] or [remove]
