[Bug 861862] Re: software-center crashed with AttributeError in on_menu_edit_activate(): 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_view_widget'

[Matthew McGowan]

Looks like something weird is happening with the xapian database, the
SoftwareCenterLog.txt indicates the user is getting a lot of the
following type errors:

2011-09-23 21:48:08,984 - softwarecenter.db - ERROR - failed to add apt-xapian-index
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db/database.py", line 157, in _get_new_xapiandb
    axi = xapian.Database("/var/lib/apt-xapian-index/index")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xapian/__init__.py", line 3408, in __init__
