Installation does not start

[Carlos Eduardo Moreira dos Santos]

Binary package hint: software-center

After clicking on "Install" button, nothing happens. Below is the console output (the "WARNING" appears right after clicking on install button). aptitude and apt-get work fine.

$ software-center

Please give more information about your system, at least the following info :

1) Ubuntu version (10.04 (Lucid), 10.10 (Maverick), etc)
2) Version of software-center (See Help->About in software-center)
3) Whether you regularly update the system.
4) Whether you use untrusted PPAs. (default: no).
5) If you have Backports-repository enabled (default: no).

I am setting the bug to Incomplete.
