Bug Description
Ubuntu 10.10
Ubuntu Software Center 4.1.22, monodevelop 2.5.92+
1. Install Monodevelop.
2. Remove Monodevelop.
What happens: Partway through the removal, a dialog appears, "The package system is broken".
Previously the details mentioned "monodoc-browser". I purged it and ran sudo apt-get install -f. Everything seems fine but software-center insists that the package system is broken.

I can reproduce this issue, looks like a bug in the auto-remove code, the terminal log says:
For the install:
Start-Date: 2011-09-19 17:31:28 commit- packages' sender=':1.133' manual: amd64 (2.10.5-1, automatic), monodevelop:amd64 (2.5.92+ dfsg-2ubuntu1)

Install: monodoc-base:amd64 (2.10.5-1, automatic), monodoc-
End-Date: 2011-09-19 17:31:38
And then the remove: remove- packages' sender=':1.133' browser: amd64 (2.10-1, automatic), libwebkit1. 1-cil:amd64 (0.3-3ubuntu3, automatic) manual: amd64 (2.10.5-1), monodevelop:amd64 (2.5.92+ dfsg-2ubuntu1)
