** Description changed:

  Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.18, Ubuntu Maverick
+ software-center-gtk3 trunk r2119, Ubuntu Ocelot
  
- From test case sc-013 <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#channels>
+ From test case sc-013 <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#channels>:
+ 1. Launch USC.
+ 2. Add a PPA in Software Sources.
+ 3. Open the “All Software” menu.
  
- 2a. Expand the “Get Software” item in the navigation pane.
- 2b. Choose "Edit" > "Software Sources" > "Other Software" > "Add" > "ppa:gary-lasker/ppa", "Close"
- 
- What should happen: "The PPA should appear immediately as a child item
- of “Get Software”, and should soon be relabelled from its URL to its
- display name."
+ What should happen: "the PPA should be shown in the menu".
  
  What actually happens: An hour later, the PPA item has not appeared.
  (Even after closing and relaunching USC, it still doesn't appear.)
+ 
+ (This also causes test case sc-008 to fail.)
