** Description changed:

  software-center-gtk3 trunk r2212, Ubuntu Ocelot
  
  1. In Ubuntu 11.04 or earlier, purchase an item in USC that isn't available for Ocelot.
  2. Do a clean install of Ocelot.
  3. Launch USC.
  4. Choose "File" > "Reinstall Previous Purchases".
  5. Select the item.
  6. Choose "Install".
  
  What happens:
  * Nothing visible.
  * At the terminal:
  ------------
  2011-08-25 19:03:22,074 - softwarecenter.backend - ERROR - error in _on_trans_finished 'Error: Package does not exist
  Check the spelling of the package name, and that the appropriate repository is enabled.
  
  Package [dbus.String(u'vendetta-online')] isn't available'
  2011-08-25 19:03:22,417 - softwarecenter.backend - WARNING - _on_trans_error: Transaction failed: None
-  Package [dbus.String(u'vendetta-online')] isn't available
+  Package [dbus.String(u'vendetta-online')] isn't available
  ------------
  
  What should happen: I hadn't specified this at all. But probably something like:
  4. Any item that isn't available in this version of Ubuntu has a No symbol overlaid on the bottom left of its icon.
  5. The "Install" button isn't present.
  6. Clicking "More Info" takes you to a software item screen explaining that the item is not available for this version of Ubuntu, and that you should contact the vendor for an updated version.
  
  #5 alone would be a minimal fix.
+ 
+ Notes for QA:
+ =============
+ See comment 1 for details of what happened when I originally tried to reproduce this in precice.
+ 
+ Until the corresponding fix for SCA is rolled out (bug 917109 - or until you test the client pointing to a different SCA instance supporting the fix), this branch should ensure that USC *won't* install the app from the incorrect distroseries - instead it will add a deb-line for precise and apt will fail if the package doesn't exist:
+ 1) Purchase some apps on an oneiric system
+ 2) On a precise system, click on Reinstall previous purchases
+ 3) Click on more-info for an app
+ 4) Click Install - verify that USC created the debline in your sources for precise, but the app will fail to install (unless it really exists in the given PPA for precise)
+ 
+ Once the fix for SCA is available, USC will not let the user click install if the app is not available for their current distroseries:
+ 1-3) as above
+ 4) Verify that there is no 'Install' button, and the package status line tells you that it is not available for the current Ubuntu version and to contact the vendor.
