Title:
  Crashes silently if /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ contains a malformed file

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.16.1, Ubuntu Maverick

  1. sudo echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu main #Ubuntu Tweak Stable Source" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list
  2. software-center

  What happens:
  ------------
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/apt/aptcache.py", line 104, in open
      self._cache = apt.Cache(GtkMainIterationProgress())

      return self._cache.__contains__(k)
  AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__contains__'
  ------------

  What should happen: The malformed source is ignored, and Ubuntu
  Software Center opens ready for use.

  Possibly this needs fixing in apt rather than in USC itself.

  To recover:
  3. sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list

  The equivalent bug in Update Manager is bug 633316, and in Synaptic is
  bug 633630.
