software-center crashed with TypeError in exists() It happens when I click on the "AGREE AND INSTALL" link on the Adobe web page to install flash for the BBC iPlayer

Binary package hint: software-center

It keeps on happening when I am on the Adobe web page to get the Flash player so that it can be installed on the BBC iPlayer on Firefox.

It happens when I click the AGREE AND INSTALL link on the Adobe page.

I think this is Ubuntu 10:10, with partial updates (what was available earlier today).

Hi!

Thanks for your bug report and sorry for the delayed response.
It seems that this bug was filed on Ubuntu 10.10. It should be
noted that this version of Ubuntu is no longer supported, and
using a more recent version of Ubuntu is strongly recommended.

If you experience any problems in the latest release of the
Software Center which ships in Ubuntu 12.04, please do
continue to report new bugs.

Thanks again for your help!
