Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

11.04 clean standalone install (not Virtual Box). Software Center doesn't start with the following error message from the terminal (note I tried that with no other programs open right after a reboot):

2010-12-03 17:55:36,531 - softwarecenter.fixme - WARNING - logs to the root logger: '('/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db/database.py', 96, 'open')'
