[Bug 821395] [NEW] Software Center shows irrelevant addons for a local deb

[Mehdi Fattahi]

Public bug reported:

I checked GParted in Software Center (didn't install, just read the description) and closed.
Then I downloaded the Google video chat plug-in deb and double-clicked on it. Software Center displays the description of the plug-in but loads GParted addons for it! Please see the attached screenshot.
