the linked branch has the simple line-wrap fix.
@mpt, there are a few strings in the softwarecenter/db/debfile.py that
are relevant to this bug:
@property
def warning(self):
# FIXME: use more concise warnings
if deb_state == DebPackage.VERSION_NONE:
return utf8(_("Only install this file if you trust the
origin.")) # no existing package installed
if deb_state == DebPackage.VERSION_OUTDATED:
return utf8(_("Please install \"%s\" via your normal
software channels. Only install this file if you trust the origin.")) %
utf8(self.name)
elif deb_state == DebPackage.VERSION_SAME:
return utf8(_("Please install \"%s\" via your normal
software channels. Only install this file if you trust the origin.")) %
utf8(self.name)
elif deb_state == DebPackage.VERSION_NEWER:
return utf8(_("An older version of \"%s\" is available in
your normal software channels. Only install this file if you trust the
origin.")) % utf8(self.name)
Could be of interest as far as rewording the warnings or designing an
alternative dialog.

Title:
Long non-wrapping text if an older version is in Ubuntu archives
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
software-center trunk r2404, Ubuntu 11.10 beta
1. Go to <http://www.dropbox.com/downloading?src=index>.
2. Click on the Ubuntu download link, and choose "Open in Ubuntu Software
Center".
What you see:
------------
An older version of "nautilus-dropbox" is available in your normal software
channels. Only instal
------------
That is, two strings are concatenated into one ribbon, and they don't wrap.
What you should see:
------------
Standalone software package
------------
A minimal improvement would be just to make the existing text wrap.
Separately, we should remove the "An older version ... is available"
text altogether. We should advertise newer versions, not older
versions. (Or if we should advertise older versions, we should figure
out why and how.) <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#gdebi>
