Bug Description

software-center trunk r2404, Ubuntu 11.10 beta

1. Download astah-community from Change Vision (http://astah.change-vision.com/en/product/astah-community.html), or openemr from <http://www.open-emr.org/download.shtml>.

2. Open the .deb package and click "Install".

What happens: USC indefinitely shows that package is installing. I had to kill software-center and few other processes (dpkg etc.).

Then I tried installing it from the console with dpkg -i command.

It turned out, that the package requires user to see the license (opened by less) and type 'yes' to accept it. GDebi seems to support it, but software-center doesn't, what makes such packages uninstallable for less advanced users.

(To recover after testing this bug and killing dpkg: "sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq -r the-package-you-interrupted && sudo apt-get install -f".)
