Bug Description
On a clean install of Ubuntu (or in this case, on the LiveCD), when the first thing you do is install Flash, Software Center replaces the usual "Install" button with a "Use This Source" button, because Flash is located in the multiverse repository.
After clicking "Use This Source", the multiverse repository is enabled, and the "Install" button is once again displayed. However, this button doesn't work because, I think, Adobe Flash has dependencies in universe, which _isn't_ enabled. In this case, Software Center should in fact also (allow you to) enable the universe software source.
