Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

I opened Software Center, and before I had a chance to do anything in it, there was a crash. This was followed by two subsequent crash notifications, which overwrote the first one, so I'm not sure if the initial crash was something else or not.

I just tried again and I *think* I confirmed that the crashes were all the same
