Hi Fabio, and thank you for your report. Please don't launch Software
Center using sudo as it should not normally require it. So that we can
try to gather more information to help us to debug this issue, could you
please try running Software Center from a terminal window as follows (no
sudo):
$ software-center
Then follow the steps to reproduce the issue, and finally please paste
any output in the terminal to this bug report.
Thanks! Your help is much appreciated!
