This affects me too. When trying to remove any installed software (previously installed through Software Store), the removal fails.

[Stefan Divjak (stefan-divjak)]

I had this error trying to install Me TV (reproducible).

Same problem here.

I addition, this is the error which I got (ran it from cli, so got some output):

I don't know if it is related, but I got this error when I installed the application: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/444089

Trying to install or remove any package reproduces this error for me.

[John (john-kitsu)]

If i try to install anything from software center it shows this. reproducible.

[xdxter (skywalkerrover)]

same for me, can't install anything from software-center

[Caleb (caleb-marcus)]

I reviewed the stderr output from Software Center when trying to install or remove anything, and there appeared to be a problem with apport not having privileges to write to /var/crash. I tried running it as root, and got a usable report from that, which seems to be the same as this one.

The bug here is that it needs a later version of aptdaemon (one that until recently was not in the archive). If you upgrade to the current version of aptdaemon it should work again (0.10+bzr258-0ubuntu1).

[OTHman (amir963ma)]

i just run
apt-get update & apt-get upgrade
ant this is happen to me

it crash and show this msg :

"Task cannot be monitored or controlled
The connection to the daemon was lost. Most likely the background daemon crashed
Details :It seems that the daemon died."
