** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: software-center
  
  This is observable with software center 2.0.3 and the trunk branch as
  well.
  
- Steps to reproduce:
- 
+ TEST CASE:
  1) Launch software center and the system monitor to watch the memory 
consumption
  2) Click on the "Provided by Ubuntu" entry on the left, wait for the list to 
(re-)load
- 
- Repeat step 2 several times.
+ 3) Repeat step 2 several times.
+ 4) verify (using htop or top or gnome-system-monitor) that the memory 
increase considerable (~10mb or more)
+ 5) install software-center from lucid-proposed
+ 6) restart software-center and repeat step 2
+ 7) verify that the memory consumption does increase much less 
  
  Expected result: the memory consumption increases the first time, then
  remains stable.
  
  Current result: the memory consumption increases by approximately 12MB
  every time the list is re-loaded, and is never re-claimed. This
  eventually results in a very high memory consumption.
