Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

Sometimes the software will just not do anything when install is pressed

I expect a box to pop up asking for my login details and then the software to install.
However after selecting the software and pressing install it just does not do anything.

Sometimes a re-boot fixes this and sometimes it takes a day or two and a re-boot to fix it.

It also happens sometimes with the upgrade button in the software update tool.
