The problem is that the setup.py tries to parse the version number from
the first line of the debian/changelog file, however the first three
lines contain a reminder for the developers, and thus it fails while
parsing the version number. This will get fixed when the reminder is
removed.

"    BRANCH INSTEAD until "quantal" gets the first upload 
    
     ALSO DO NOT MERGE TRUNK BACK INTO 5.2, ONLY 5.2 INTO TRUNK"

Assigning mvo to remove the note from the debian changelog as soon as
the first upload to quantal happens.

Title:
  Can't build Software Center by hand

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

Bug description:
  I'm trying to build the Software Center by hand now for a weeks and I
  can't get it to build. Everytime I try it throws me an error. I tried
  multiple times on clean boxes. It throws me the following error:

  vistausss@vistausss-p6580nl:~/fromsvngit/software-center$ sudo python 
setup.py install
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "setup.py", line 67, in <module>
      VERSION = m.group(1)
  AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'
  vistausss@vistausss-p6580nl:~/fromsvngit/software-center$ 

  It did work a month ago but the last three weeks it's a no-go.

  OS: Ubuntu 12.04
  arch: 64-bit
