Stuck at "Applying changes..."

[Ryan Vickers]

Binary package hint: software-center

While adding/removing packages (the "In progress" queue) it appears to have frozen on "Applying changes..." for an item (specifically at 90%). It was a removal I requested - not an installation, and it was something I had added - not something built in. Now, the program itself is not actually frozen (I can still navigate, etc.), but it has not made any progress in over 20 minutes, so I am considering it "stuck".

Further details:
Ubuntu 10.04 beta 1 (32 bit)
running off USB stick made with the CD image + USB maker thing

I can gather more info or perform further tests if necessary.

Update: After forcefully terminating the software centre and starting fresh, it would appear as though the package was actually removed after all. Perhaps this then has something to do with the frontend, and not the actual "working parts"?

Thanks for taking time to report this bug. I got a similar type of problem estimately 15days ago but have not seen this since then so I am marking this fixed for now If you face this again feel free to open this again. Thanks again

And also please update to the latest version of software center i.e. 1.1.26

I am having this problem on a fresh install of 10.04. Tried to remove Empathy IM client. It got to 90% complete, saying "Applying changes" and got stuck there. It does appear that the software was removed.
