The error occurred when I was searching for apps in the software center, but it didn't make any difference in the software center usage, so if the error message didn't show, I wouldn't never know that some error occurred.

Software Center crashed when I tried to see 'Installed" software.

[Jason Robinson (jaywink)]

Error occurred after installing Steam deb file downloaded from Steam site. The deb was installing, Steam info dialog asked to Start it after which Steam started updating the client. Clicked close button on the info dialog and USC crashed. Clicked relaunch and it crashed again. Clicked relaunch and now didn't crash. 'Install' button still visible for the deb even though install seems successful, dpkg also says installed, no broken packages (sudo apt-get install -f).

Running Raring, installed cleanly a few days ago.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

I've also seen this issue when installing steam. So I don't think it's correct to say that this is 'fix released' - and I'm not sure if it's still in progress, so setting back to triaged.
