software-center crashed with IndexError in set_thumbnails_from_data(): list index out of range

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

just clicked one of the apps on the main page and the crash occurred.
didn't happen the first time i clicked...i'd already viewed something else, returned to the main page and then tried another.

Happens on 12.04 Alpha1 32 bits

try installing with synaptic the glib-networking

Running 12.04 Alpha 1 i386 in VirtualBox. Host O/S is Ubuntu 11.10 X86-64.
The crash occured as i was trying to install nautilus-open-terminal.
The procedure was:
1-Search for the application. 2-Show extra info. 3-Select "Install".
The glib-networking package was already installed and updated as suggested in answer #5.
My localization settings: el_gr-UTF8 language.

can't install anything with software center now. Press install and it does nothing. For some seconds later it shows a crash report. I have to use synaptic and apt-get to install things i need for now.

same problems with software center
and when i click at system preferences nothing happends

Nothing I try to install succeeds. Not much use when one is using a developing version
