Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

I have ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop installed
When running software-center from kubuntu everything works fine until using the 'install' button.
after hitting the 'install' button, nothing happens. nothing installs. and no permissions login appears.
I have checked behind the software-center window to make sure it wasn't behind it, it is not appearing at all.
no errors are coming up from cli.

Thanks for your bugreport.

The problem is that the versionized dependency on aptdaemon was too weak, I corrected that in my branch now. In the meantime, please upgrade to the latest aptdaemon in karmic, that should fix the problem.

This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 0.4.6

---------------
software-center (0.4.6) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - add versionized dependency to aptdaemon (needs some of the
      latest API for the async calls) LP: #444218
  * softwarecenter/view/pendingview.py:
    - display the operation (Install Packages, Remove Packages,
      Applying Changes) for operations that come from outside
      software-center (LP: #444254)
  * softwarecenter/app.py:
    - do not crah on corrupted database
  * utils/update-software-center:
    - ignore if dbus can not be imported (e.g. because we are in
      the middle of a upgrade and python packages are unavailable)
      LP: #443177)
    - do not show full stacktrace if dbus is not available
      (LP: #444089)
    - add a small delay between dubs rebuild signal and actual rebuild
      (LP: #438639)
