Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
When a package fails to install, software-center informs you of the fact, but does not tell you which package, nor why. It is not obvious how to retrieve the log.
You can find out later by clicking on the explosion-icon on the panel, but this does not seem related to the task.

So that we can reproduce this bug, could someone provide an example .deb that is guaranteed not to install? :-)
