Hi omichalek, and thank you for your bug report. This issue and its fix is being tracked over in bug 891499, so I will mark this one as a duplicate of that.

Per the other report, it appears that a local cache file that Software Center uses has become corrupted and that is causing this issue. First, so that we can take a look at the file to see exactly what went wrong, could you please attach the following file to bug 891499?:

   /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/cataloged_times.p

After you've done that, you can restore normal Software Center operation as follows. Please shut down Software Center (if it is running) and type the following command into a terminal window to delete the corrupted file:

  $ sudo rm /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/cataloged_times.p

After this, Software Center should start normally. Please let us know if it does not, or if have you any further problems.

Thank you again!
