796064 - "check for updates" not working for themes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: API, defect)

Description

[Pardal Freudenthal (:ShareBird)]

Checking for updates for themes doesn't show new versions.

Steps to reproduce:
1. install Silvermel 1.5.3 from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... /versions/
2. Now, at the Addons Manager check for updates.

Result: no updates are found
Expected: Silvermel updated to version 1.5.4

The same happens also for NASA Night Launch:

1. Start Fx15 with existing profile that does not contain NNL.
2. Go to AMO, install older NNL (not the most current one) from "all versions" page.
3. Restart browser.
4. Notice NNL in use, version number is the older 0.6.20120813 as expected.
5. Go to add-ons Manager, right-click NNL to check for updates.
6. Update check occurs, does not find an update, but should have found update to newer 0.6.20120915.

I tested with NASA Night Launch on Firefox 16.0.1, and the update works correctly for me.
