Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
For whatever technical reason, Software Center has to wait for previous operations to complete before it begins downloading for the next operation. If an installation is running and another is queued up, the second task shows the text "waiting for service to start." While this may be true, it's too technical, and may lead users to believe that something is wrong with the system. If it's just waiting for a previous operation to complete, then it should say so with more informative text.

What information would you expect? "Waiting for the completion of a previous task"?
