I had this bug when I installed Skype directly from their website and ran the deb file. When I ran the .deb file, the Ubuntu Software Centre would open, I'd hit install and the Software Centre would crash. However! Skype did install, but I could not update or install anything else until I had removed Skype.
I had to uninstall Skype from the terminal as I could not figure out how to remove it from the Software Centre without it crashing.
I tried this procedure at least 4 times with the same results each time. I don't think I am able to reproduce it without following those steps.
