I'm adding the Ubuntu Software Center too, because this EULA bug effectively breaks the Software Center. It makes the Software Center freeze, and later after logging out and back in to a new Unity session the update manager starts producing messages about broken packages.
It should be noted that this is one of the most commonly installed 3rd party packages, and even more so given the fact that it is a requirement of ubuntu- restricted- extras which practically everyone uses. As a result, the ubuntu- restricted- extras packages is also not installable via the Software Center.
It would be nice to fix this before the release of 15.04, else we'll be seeing a lot of negative reviews about broken Software Center etc.
