Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  Open USC, search for tomboy, docky, 7zip or any other application that has reviews.
  Click on any one of those results.
  Observe screenshot, details about application, but reviews are absent.

  "Checking for reviews"

  Sits there for a while. Then changes to "Got an opinion?" and offers
  me the erroneous chance to be the first to review the app.

  If I attempt to leave a review, then I get the chance to login with
  single sign on. However once entering my credentials I get left with
  "One moment please" and "Signing in" which never completes.
