Bug Description

Software locked up and I had to force quit it. I think the package had only partially downloaded or installed when I did. I had to remove the package manually and sudo apt -f install (I think). Anyway, not sure what happened to "Software" I left it for twenty minutes before I exited.

Thanks,
