Bug Description
LATEST VERSION TESTED: 3.1.26.1
Binary package hint: software-center
I saw the following, when upgrading software-center while SSH'ed in remotely:
Setting up software-center (3.0.5) ...
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
/usr/lib/
warnings.
My DISPLAY variable is set, but XAUTHORITY is not (since the apt-get(8) invocation is running as root via sudo).
The software-center upgrade script(s) should not be making any use of X11 whatsoever, whether DISPLAY is set or not.

Just got this today as well: pymodules/ python2. 7/gtk-2. 0/gtk/_ _init__ .py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display warn(str( e), _gtk.Warning)
Setting up software-center (3.1.26.1) ...
No protocol specified
/usr/lib/
warnings.
Updating software catalog...this may take a moment.
Software catalog update was successful.
