Maybe I should have filed this under 'gnome-do' instead of 'software-center'.

as a workaroud for the error, only edit the file : /usr/share/applications/gnome-do.desktop, by removing the erroneous line after 'Comment[kk]' and run ' sudo update-desktop-database'. And it's a bug from gnome-do, not software-center

Thanks, I think this is a duplicate of another bug (the 'Comment[kk]' confused me in that report), but I can't find it anymore.

I have also came across that error message upon updating Ubuntu natty with the terminal today:

I do not know how this is related to gnome-do. Considering that I do not have it installed.

Most people are hitting this in app-install-data, but this needs to be fixed in gnome-do first. Then, app-install-data can be updated.

I don't think this has something to do with gnome-do. See my attached error-messages after reinstall software-center. There are tons of this error, not only with gnome-do and the software-center does not show a single entry. Its completely empty.

Really? Because I don't have gnome-do installed. But there was an update for the software-center too, after that it was gone.

I've installed Natty a few hours ago, with latest Software Center, and I noticed that warning.

Of course we have to wait for the Gnome-Do revision to be updated to ubuntu repositories.
