** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu Maverick)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu Natty)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Description changed:

  The inline icon_data that is currently being provided by the software-
  center-agent on the production server has been deprecated and must be
  removed from the Software Center client. Instead, the icon for packages
  provided by the agent should be downloaded directly using the icon_url
  field.
  
  Test case for SRU:
- (to be specified after the icon_data value has been removed from the staging server to allow testing)
  1) remove software-center cache in ~/.cache/software-center
  2) run SOFTWARE_CENTER_BUY_HOST=https://sc.staging.ubuntu.com software-center
  3) verify that there are no icons in the purchase section
  4) install the version from -proposed
  5) repeat step 1, 2 and verify that icons get downloaded
