Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
Every time I try to open the Software Center, it crashes. This has happened every time since I've had since Alpha 2. I figured this was just a common error, being as it was only in Alpha. I had done a "partial upgrade" before being notified on how dangerous it was, and started getting updates from Synaptic instead. So this may be my doing. I attempted to reinstall the package "software-center" in Synaptic, however it failed. I'm hoping this can be fixed as easily as getting an "11.04 beta 1" ISO image, and using synaptic to repair the packages. If this is the case, please post how to do so, or point me to a post on how to do so.
