I can start software center normally, but I still have this bug just after boot.

It seems that it happen just after an aptd crash...

i use to have problem with software centre and update manager. crashing and getting bug report symbol all the time.
i installed rsyslog and ubuntu-minimal and the problems have been solved.
do you have these packages installed.

[Jens Askengren (jens-askengren)]

Installing these packages fixes the problem.
Aptd should maybe depend on rsyslog?

[Sebastian Heinlein (glatzor)]

Aptdaemon only uses syslog logging facility i available. Should be already fixed in karmic.

I can confirm this bug. In fact when I started UbuntuSoftwareCentre in Maverick Beta1 i386 I had the same problem.
