Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

When viewing Inkscape's entry in the Software Center, not having Inkscape installed, I was reading through the reviews and wondering how I could add my own. Luckily, I recalled that you couldn't review software that wasn't installed, and looking at the entry of an application that had no review confirmed that ("This app has not been reviewed yet - you need to install this app before you can review it"). However, the Inkscape entry had no such information - perhaps it would be an option to add the "you need to install this app" line at the bottom of the reviews?

software-center (3.1.26.2) natty; urgency=low

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * softwarecenter/db/update.py:
    - do not crash if /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/cataloged_times.p can
      not be read (LP: #636049)
  * merged lp:~mvo/software-center/get-reviews-subprocess (LP: #743020):
    - don't use multiprocessing anymore, instead glib.spawn_async()
      a helper app, this finally fixes the crashes with accessibility
      turned on (LP: #743020)
    - update rnrclient_pristine.py to the latest upstream version
      that supports origin and distroseries as arguments
    - add support for getting all the origins of the DB, this is
      needed for the new rnrclient_pristine.py functionatlity
    - ship get_reviews_helper.py, get_review_stats_helper.py for
      the glib.spawn_async() change
    - this also makes the reviews fully work in the guest session again

  [ Gary Lasker ]
  * softwarecenter/db/reviews.py:
    - update review loader to check for JoinableQueue rather than
      Queue so that we re-enable the ReviewLoaderThreadedRNRClient
      (LP: #754639)
  * utils/submit_review.py:
    - remove two strings marked for translation that are never
      actually shown in the ui, also add translators note for
      combobox entries (LP: #750421)
  * refresh .pot file

  [ Aaron Peachey ]
  * softwarecenter/view/widgets/reviews.py:
    - advise user that app needs to be installed in order to review,
      even if reviews exist (LP: #754879)
