Ubuntu Software center has issues removing software

[Ben Shaver]

When trying to uninstall various things via the Ubuntu Software Center, it will continue to display as if the item is still installed. Clicking to remove the package again results in a generic "Ubuntu Software Center has encountered an error" error message.
