[Bug 845280] Re: update-software-center crashed with AttributeError in __init__(): type object 'File' has no attribute 'new_for_path'

[Robert Roth]

@Bruce Pieterse: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade should do it I think, running upgrade between them might have triggered this. Could you still can reproduce this bug?
