software-center crashed with in _run_transaction()

[George Nicolson]

I tried to install fglrx-updates from the software center .. It also gives the following output in an error window(no window closed):

Package dependencies cannot be resolved

This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

fglrx-updates: Depends: libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.5.3) but 4:4.8.2-0ubuntu5 is to be installed
               Depends: libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.5.3) but 4:4.8.2-0ubuntu5 is to be installed
               Depends: xorg-video-abi-12 but it is not going to be installed

I think the dependencies or something is also messed up .. :/
And not just on this package.
I've almost got a fresh install, so I doubt it's just me .. :)

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
