Bug Description
WORKAROUND:
Until this bug is fixed, you can install Psychonauts using a terminal as shown:
$ sudo apt-get install psychonauts
---
Installing Psychonauts from the Ubuntu Software Center eventually (after downloading) caused the software center to repeatedly crash and pop up a new crash report dialog every few seconds (before previous ones were closed). Had to killall -9 software-center and apport-gtk.
After this happened, simply launching the software center caused the crash loop to happen again. Launching and killing it a few times seems to have fixed it.
Also, the size of the psychonauts package is reported as 134.9 MB in stead of 4.1 GB.
$ lsb_release -rd
