Bug Description

SRU TEST CASE:

This fix is for an intermittent crash that occurs on startup, and so it cannot be reliably reproduced. The test is to check for regressions by installing the version of Software Center in -proposed and launching it from the command line as shown:

  $ software-center

Verify that the following crash never occurs:

  AttributeError: 'ReviewsStats' object has no attribute 'histogram'

SRU REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
Negligible. Fix adds a single line to initialize this field in a class.

Hello Jonathan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-center into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
