Hi Halvor, thanks very much for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue is essentially due to the fact that your newly installed .deb can't be found anywhere in Software Center. This bug has been reported as bug 635029, so I'll mark this one as a duplicate of that one. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Please continue to report any other bugs you may find.

Thanks again!
