Bug Description

1) Ubuntu 13.04
2) tim@tim-desktop:~$ apt-cache policy software-center
software-center:
  Installed: 5.6.0-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 5.6.0-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 5.6.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3) I expected Software Center to launch when I clicked the icon in the Unity Launcher. When it did not, I expected it to launch after entering "software-center" in the terminal.
4) On clicking Unity launcher, icon flashed; Software Center did not launch. On trying to start from terminal, the attached error report was generated.
tim@tim-desktop:~$ software-center
