Hi Joshua, thanks for your bug report. It seems that the problem is not in Software Center itself, but rather there's a bad line in your /etc/apt/ sources. list file per the following from the attached traceback:
E:Malformed line 53 in source list /etc/apt/ sources. list (dist parse), E:The list of sources could not be read.
If you like, you could attach this file to the report so we could take a look at it. Alternatively, you could fix this problem yourself by taking a look at this line and commenting it out (or deleting it) if it isn't needed.
In any case, I'll set this bug as invalid as it's not a bug in Software Center. I'll track the bug though to see if you continue to have a problem after fixing up your sources.list file or would like additional assistance.
