software-center crashed with AttributeError in save_person_to_config(): SoftwareCenterConfig instance has no attribute 'close'

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

Crash has occurred, when I was writing a review of a program (synaptic).

Same here, tried to submit the review, after that the Software Centre crashed on me.

This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 4.1.23.7
