[Bug 849745] Re: software-center crashed with DBusException in call_blocking(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

in today's aptdaemon update in Precise. Many thanks to Chris Coulson for
the fix!

aptdaemon (0.43+bzr756-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low
