Title:
  software center doesn't let you review installed apps without
  restarting

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  TEST CASE:

  1. Open Software Center version 4.0 (stock Natty).
  2. Navigate to the details view for any package that is not yet installed.
  3. Note that the string in the reviews section reads "You need to install this app before you can review it"
  4. Install the package.
  5. After the package installation is complete, note that the string still reads "You need to install this app before you can review it"
  6. Uninstall the package.
  7. Close Software Center and upgrade to version 4.0.1 in natty-proposed.
  8. Open Software Center and navigate back to the test package.
  9. Verify that the string again reads "You need to install this app before you can review it" (as it is not installed)
  10. Install the package.
  11. After installation is complete, verify that the text has changed to "Be the first to review it" or "Write your own review", and when clicked brings up the reviews login dialog.

  After installing an application, software center still says "you need
  to install this app before you can review it." The only way to review
  an app  is to close software center, and then re-open it after
  installation.

  str (from dupe bug 765396):
  1- go to an app in the software centre (i used radio-tray)
  2- click install, authenticate, wait for this to complete
  3- (optionally) launch the application and play with it

  what should happen:
   - i can enter comments about the application in the software centre
  what does happen:
   - it still says "you need to install this application" etc

  The problem seems to be that the reviews section ought to reload or
  update after installation but it does not. The inverse problem appears
  after deinstallation (ie you can still review it.)

  (Separately, it might be reasonable to let people review software they
  previously tried and then deinstalled: Android Market does that for
  example.)
