[Bug 666956] Re: packages from canonical partner do not show up if "use this source" is clicked

[Lightnin]

Seeing this in fresh install of Oneiric. To reproduce:
Search for skype.
Select use this source.
Authenticate (failed once, but shouldn't matter)
Select more info on skype because install still not an option.
Software center says it can't find skype.
workaround: apt-get update in terminal. Close / reopen software center.

Title:
  packages from canonical partner do not show up if "use this source" is
  clicked

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “software-center” source package in Maverick:
  Fix Released
Status in “software-center” source package in Natty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  For packages from canonical partner clicking on "use this source" has no visible effect. The reason is that
  the "reload" that is done after the repository is added expects a file in sources.list.d  - but the partner repo
  is available in the main sources.list and will just be enabled there.

  Test case:
  1. use a fresh maverick sources.list  (and make a copy of this for later)
  2. open software-center and click on "partner" channel
  3. click on any item and go to the details view there
  4. click on "use this source"
  5. verify that it flickers but has no further effect

  6. install software-center from maverick-proposed
  7. repear steps 1-5 (including restoring sources.list)
  8. verify that clicking on "use this source" make the app description appear
