Bug Description

I'm on wily, trying to do a dist-upgrade which upgraded software-center to 13.10-0ubuntu8.

But at the end, I got this error:

dpkg: cycle found while processing triggers:
 chain of packages whose triggers are or may be responsible:
  software-center -> software-center
 packages' pending triggers which are or may be unresolvable:
  software-center: /usr/share/app-install/desktop
dpkg: error processing package software-center (--configure):
 triggers looping, abandoned
Errors were encountered while processing:
 software-center
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Running "apt-get -f install" afterwards lets software-center finish installing.
