Bug Description

Using Ubuntu 12.04 software Center would load the window but then the window would go grey and it said the program was not responding, and also Dash would not find Applications. I decided to install the lastest version of Ubuntu so installed Ubuntu 13.10. The Dash will now find Applications but the Software Center still will only open the window but not go any further.

On trying to open the program inthe terminal the following was shown:

phil@phil-HP-Mini-5102:~$ software-center

Description: Ubuntu 13.10
Release: 13.10

I expected the Software Center program to load, but all that happened was the window opened up for the Software Center, then it went grey and failed to go any further
