Bug Description

I try to install Skype's Deb package into my Ubuntu distro and cannot open the software-center, it just do not works, open, install... When I try to open it twice a tiny windows appears blank, with the usual menus (they do not do anything) but the window title is software-center and the windows is blank.

Trying to run it from gnome-terminal, I've got this:

gabriel@gabriel-HGL31I:~$ killall software-center
gabriel@gabriel-HGL31I:~$ software-center

KeyboardInterrupt

The ^C interruption really was me, after half hour the software-center doesn't show up, so I killed the procees with Ctrl+C.

Some useful info:

Yesterday I updated my 12.04 to 12.10 with some strange things happen during the upgrading process. (Like my compiz and unity closing without explanation and the dconf stops working correctly)
