Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Please see bug report lp:1446880 for explanations and details about Apport wrongly reporting against 'dpkg' instead of the faulty 'software-center' package.

All these similar bugs will be set as 'duplicate' as apport is also disturbed by the package name instead of picking up the real error

[dino99 (9d9)]

update-manager can also be concerned

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

There is no evidence, in the description or any of the attached files, that Ubuntu Software Center or Software Updater are involved.
