Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

When trying to install a deb package with the wrong architecture the software item screen has some problems in my opinion:
1) The Line with the install button has a pink background, and the install button is disabled. - seemingly no error message, why it is disabled
2) The Wrong architecture 'amd64' error message appears as the description of the item, it's hard to find out that it actually is the error message causing the Install button to get disabled.
3) The Wrong architecture amd64 error message is not really user-friendly, it should be replaced with a more user-friendlier message.

See the screenshot for the screen I'm talking about.
