What should happen: The malformed source is ignored, and Ubuntu
Software Center opens ready for use.
Possibly this needs fixing in apt rather than in USC itself.
To recover:
3. sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list
The equivalent bug in Update Manager is bug 633316, and in Synaptic is
bug 633630.
