I have verified that the version of software-center in oneiric-proposed,
5.0.4, does indeed fix this bug (per the given test case).
Many thanks!

Title:
Software Center not start, infinite loading
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “software-center” source package in Oneiric:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
I cant use the Software-center.. the app open but stay on loading screen forever, the cicle indicator of load never ends. So i can't see, search, install or unistall programs by software-center, im forced to use the Terminal or Synaptic.
I just tried fix in terminal using apt-get clean, autoclean, check, update, upgrade, install -f and much more but without effect.
Steps to reproduce for SRU:
1. Run Oneiric
2. Set aside the file /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/cataloged_times.p for safekeeping.
3. Copy the attached broken cataloged_times.p file from this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/891499/+attachment/2601868/+files/cataloged_times.p) to /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/cataloged_times.p.
4. Launch software-center and observe that it opens but shows only a spinner and never fully starts.
5. Quit software-center
6. Update to software-center version 5.0.4 in oneiric-proposed.
7. Start software-center again and verify that now it starts normally.
8. Finally, restore your original copy of /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/cataloged_times.p that you had set aside in step 2.
