Hi, and thank you for your bug report. Are you still experiencing this issue with recent versions of Software Center? Many fixes have been made since then and it's very possible that this issue has been resolved for you. If that is the case, please let us know so that we can close this bug, or feel free to close it yourself.

If you are still getting the error, however, and so that we can try to gather more information to help us to debug this issue, could you please try running Software Center from a terminal window as follows:

  $ software-center

Then then please paste any output in the terminal to this bug report.

Thanks! Your help is much appreciated!

I run Ubuntu Studio 12.04 on one physical drive, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on another, on a Dell Studio 1737 with all the bells and whistle available in 2009. Both are AMD64. USC works just fine within Studio, but reports package failed to install every time in LTS. About 15% of packages actually do install successfully, but get the same message. The rest show as installed after the error message, but only generate errors when I try to run them. Bizarre. Unfortunately, I need both versions on this machine, I use LTS for recovering old video, audio, and stills, which I then send over to Studio.
