Ubuntu Software Center unable to install Gnome Shell

[Brian D]

I tried to update the Gnome Shell from the Ubuntu Software Center. I received the following error message:

"There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry."

Details:
