[Bug 850371] [NEW] The Software Center does not show any packages

[Marko Saarinen]

Public bug reported:

The Software Center shows software categories normally, but these
categories are all empty. It does not show any available packages. It
shows the installation history just fine, but only for the current month
apparently (I don't know if this is the correct behaviour or not). On
the other hand, Synaptic shows the available packages correctly, it also
shows the entire installation history (several months, not just the
current one). I have removed the xapian indexing, though (it used too
much resources and heated up my computer). I'm not sure if this affects
the Software Center.
