Title:
  software-center crashed with ImportError in rescan(): No module named
  history

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

Bug description:
  Using Software center 4.0.3 on Natty
  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Start software center
  2) When the application starts up, click History in the sidebar as fast as you can (before the Get Software tree gets expanded, PPAs and sources appear)
  What should happen: you should get to the history after a time
  What happens instead: the history loading spinner keeps spinning indefinitely, and an apport report bug window appears. Additionally, closing and starting software center again brings up only an empty window, and you can not use software-center, only after you killall software-center instances and start again.
