Title:
  Software center crashes on  apt://xxx link

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  Hello,
  Invalid apt-link in a HTML document.

  When I click an apt-link that has invalid package name, the software
  center crashes. Sometimes it works right and the software-center
  dialog appears and reports that the "package was not found". In most
  cases the dialog simply crashes and vanishes.

  Create a HTML document and add invalid apt-link. Then click on it. Eg.
  apt://flashplugin-installer2

  More links you can test with.
