Title:
  Ubuntu Software Center caching problem

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

Bug description:
  How does the software-center(1) cache update process work?

  Context:  If I add a third-party repository to my sources, I
  experience a delay before it becomes available in the Software Center.
  Consider the following shell commands (on a fresh, patched install of
  14.04-amd64):

    wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | \
          sudo apt-key add - 
    echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/talkplugin/deb/ stable main" | \
          sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list
    sudo apt-get -qq update  
    apt-cache show google-talkplugin
    sudo update-software-center
    software-center &

  After running these, my expectation is that the "google-talkplugin" package 
should be immediately available via the Software Center search bar, since it's 
available via apt-cache(8).   My experience is that the package will be 
unfindable until some indeterminate number of minutes later.
   
  The update-software-center(8) command doesn't seem to get the job done here.  
This may be a bug in update-software-center, or may be a design problem with 
software-center.

  Is there any way I can give the software-center process a swift kick
  to update?  Or is there some other shell command I can run prior to
  ensure that the Software Center is fully updated before presenting the
  GUI?
