Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

Using those example files that work perfectly with older software center and gdebi and dpkg
http://getax.ernstfamily.ch/downloads/GeTaxPP2009_amd64.deb
http://getax.ernstfamily.ch/downloads/GeTaxPP2010.deb

1) "<span font_desc="bold 20">Title</span>
Summary" appears as the package title

2) Clicking on "Install" button does nothing (doesn't show an error, nor installs the package).
