Title:
  error message on software-center update

Status in “app-install-data-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I received the following error message on a recent apt-get upgrade:

  Updating software catalog...this may take a moment.
  INFO:softwarecenter.db.pkginfo_impl.aptcache:aptcache.open()
  WARNING:softwarecenter.db.update:The file: '/usr/share/app-install/desktop/sonic-visualiser:x-sonicvisualiser-layer.desktop' could not be read correctly. The application associated with this file will not be included in the software catalog. Please consider raising a bug report for this issue with the maintainer of that application

  Apt-file pointed me in the direction of where those files were coming from:

  % apt-file search /usr/share/app-install/desktop/sonic-visualiser:x-sonicvisualiser-layer.desktop
  app-install-data: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/sonic-visualiser:x-sonicvisualiser-layer.desktop
  % apt-file search /usr/share/app-install/desktop/sonic-visualiser:x-sonicvisualiser.desktop
  app-install-data: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/sonic-visualiser:x-sonicvisualiser.desktop

  
  ...which is why I'm filing this in "app-install-data" and not "software-center."
