[Michael Knichel]

After fresh install, software center crashes. From CLI, i get ...
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.

I attempted to apply the fixes mentioned in

but it still will not open.

I tried to reinstall software-center as per some suggestions. It still will not load.

Here is the output....
