List of apps for purchase is empty after choosing to "Reinstall previous purchases"

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

I povniet, thank you for your bug report. I am able to reproduce this issue using the French locale, and have a fix in the attached branch.

Please refer to additional useful debug details provided by Aldo Nogueira in bug 875450. Thanks!

Thanks Gary! It seems that if you "re-buy" a previously bought software you have nothing to pay (hopefully)! So I will wait for the update!

Indeed, you will definitely not have to pay again. :) The button will be to "Reinstall", rather than "Buy", for these items.

We will make the update available as quickly as we can. Thank you again!

Hello povniet, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-center into oneiric-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!

I've just upgraded the software-center from proposed. The bug seems ito be corrected now! Thank you!

Fixed in Brazilian Portuguese as well.

Thank you for testing and reporting back, povniet and Aldo. Your help is very much appreciated!

Cheers,
Gary
