Bug Description

Just installed canonical-certification-server on a 13.10 server VM and tried to run it. I got a welcome screen but then as soon as I hit OK on the welcome screen, plainbox exited and dumped a traceback:

Also, I thought maybe something was hinky with me running it as a Root user (since I'm running this in a digital ocean droplet). I created a non-privileged user and tried again but got the same traceback.

So one thing is obvious. That provider does not ship a version= definition so it get skipped.

We should be a bit more resiliant when stuff like this happens (in the code, where we assume whitelist $name exists) but immediate fix is to add

version=1.0

to each of the .provider files that don't have them

Fix is not in this version:

ii canonical-certification-server 0.17.8+bzr2777+201403121047~ubuntu14.04.1 all Canonical Certification Server.

Using this version of canonical-certification-server I get the exact same Index out of Range error as seen before... here is the current traceback:

FWIW, the last version I have on my system, 0.17.6 did work fine as of last week when I was in Asia demoing the tool. So the regression occurred some time between that version and the current version 0.17.8
