Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

I can reproduce this by running:

$ software-center /tmp/google-chrome-beta_current_amd64.deb
and installing/reinstalling it.

It appears that aptdaemon blocks while its investigating the deb and at the same time s-c is doing
dbus calls to aptdaemon resulting in a blocking UI in s-c
