Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

The full set of rating stars in the Software Center list views are not shown initially on first launch after a fresh install.

TEST CASE:

1. Start with a fresh Natty install. DO NOT start Software Center yet (see note below).
2. Upgrade to Software Center 4.0.2 in natty-proposed.
3. Launch Software Center 4.0.2 and navigate to the "Accessories" category.
4. Verify that ratings stars are shown in the list view.

* Note that this procedure skips reproducing the initial failure. That's because this error condition is corrected by a subsequent install of the software-center package. This procedure, then, tests the specific failure condition.

I don't know if this is related or not but maximum rating displayed for any application is 10 only....Chromium, GIMP, VLC, Firefox all show a rating of 10 while actual is quite higher. Should I file a separate bug for this? Here are some screenshots:

Okay, I think I might be having the same problem as you, dart, also on a fresh install. For me, ratings only appear after I open a package's details page. Then, if I return to the list, the rating for that one package is shown.
Also happens on a fresh user account, so this isn't a user configuration issue.

I'm not sure if that is what happens for you. Does the rating appear as soon as you highlight a package in the list, or is it similar to what I described?

Oh gee, sorry, I'm not confirming dart's problem, I'm confirming kiki's problem. There I go messing up the comments again. Sorry! :)

Accepted software-center into natty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

The package in Proposed appears to solve this for me. I'll keep using it and let you know if anything goes wrong.

Thanks, Dylan! I just wanted to add that I have also verified this fix on a fresh Natty install per the provided test case and all looks good.
