Title:
  software-center won't  update package list automatically

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

Bug description:
  1. Start Oneiric iso in KVM (eg using testdrive)
  2. Run software-center and select Edit - Software Sources
  3. In software sources dialog, enable universe sources, quit dialog by selecting "Close"
   - > Note: Software center won't update package list automatically
  5. Select a universe package (eg 7zip)
  6. Instead of updating the previously enabled universe package list automatically, software center offers the user to "Use this Source" (referring to universe source)

  This is inconsistent behavior and might be confusing for the user,
  since they already activated the universe sources. Moreover, in
  previous Ubuntu releases (I am running Maverick), software-center used
  to automatically update package list when sources changed.
