Bug Description

Testing Oneiric Alpha 3. I opened software-center and attempted to install a couple applications. First, I tried installing Cheese. When I clicked on Install from both the search results (I searched for Video) and on the Info page for Cheese, nothing happened. Cheese did not install, I got no password dialog box, nada. The button just went dark for a second and then back to default.

I tried to install guvcview using the same methods, and again, I was unable to install the software.
