[Bug 792017] Re: Cannot rate Gwyddion package

[Robert Roth]

Thank you Andres: it doesn't matter if you've changed from natty to xubuntu natty, software-center is the same. Thanks for mentioning that you have gwyddion installed from the PPA, that's an important detail of a bug, just like the trace you just have attached. I have tried rating another software (indicator-weather) from a PPA and I have got the same stacktrace, so we can make this bug a bit more specific, like Reviewing software from PPA doesn't work and doesn't tell the user that he can not rate software from PPA's, only from the official repos. I am updating the title and description with these details.
