[Matthew Paul Thomas <mpt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've updated the test case again, both changing the package (because
Google Voice now sets up its own repository, confusing matters) and for
the new layout. The same basic bug exists.

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.18, Ubuntu Maverick
  Ubuntu Software Center 3.0.4, Ubuntu 10.10
+ software-center-gtk3 trunk r2114, Ubuntu Ocelot
  
- From test case sc-014 <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#navigation-pane>:
- 1. Download and install the Google voice and video plug-in.
- 2. Expand Ubuntu Software Center's “Installed Software” branch.
+ From test case sc-014 <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#channels>:
+ 1. Download and install a standalone .deb package, such as gpick. http://code.google.com/p/gpick/downloads/list
+ 2. Open the “Installed” menu; it should have an “Other” child item that, if selected, shows the item you installed.
+ 3. Open the “All Software” menu; it should have an identical “Other” child item.
+ 4. Uninstall the package; the “Other” item should disappear from both menus, if that was the only standalone item installed. 
  
- What should happen: It should have an “Other” child item that lists the Google Talk plugin.
- What actually happens: It does not. It does not even show up at the top level of "Installed Software".
+ What happens:
+ 2. The "Other" item, if present, does not contain the item you installed.
+ 3. The "All Software" menu does not contain an "Other" item at all.

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Triaged

** Summary changed:

- Downloaded .deb doesn't appear in "Installed Software" after installation
+ Downloaded .deb doesn't appear in "Installed" after installation

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
   Importance: High => Medium
