Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

Ubuntu Software Center 1.1.15, Ubuntu Lucid

1. Launch Ubuntu Software Center.
2. Navigate to "Games".

What you see:
1. "32902 applications available" (or thereabouts).
2. "488 applications available".

What you should see:
1. "32902 items available".
2. "488 items available".

Many, perhaps most, of the items in USC aren't applications. (They're libraries or fonts or development headers or screen savers...)

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#lobby>: "Whenever the lobby screen is being displayed: ... * The status bar text should be of the form “29 079 items available”."
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#department>: "Whenever a department screen is being displayed: ... * The status bar text should be of the form “301 items available”, counting all the items in that department, including all subsections."
