This bug appears to have been generated when I tried to install / fix a brother scanner system. Details from the software center error log are;

SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the brscan package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

I have the same issue.... it is real frustrating... I'm new to Ubuntu (I'm new to the whole Linux system actually)
So, I'm a bit cofused, I'm getting the basic idea on how everything works.. But not being able to get the the software center working is a bummer...

This is the error I get when I try to install a program:

If someone could provide a fix, then it would a lot :)
