Same bug on ubuntu 10.10 amd64, software-center 5.0.3.1. This appens after some manual package installation (I suspect dropbox or mendeley)
The application list is also broken on unity, and apps cannot be found not search on the pannel. Persist after reconstruction of the application index, using apt-get update and upgrade, nor apt-get -f install, nor sudo apt-get install 4g8 && sudo dpkg --force-depends -r libnet1 as found here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#broken- catalog The bug appeared on a brand new installation of ubuntu (2days, just installing my progs) Here is attached the report of the software-center --debug please note that I used no proxy and disabled third party packages sources and apt- get update. After these lines, the terminal is freezed Please note that, once the command is launched, there is no way of killing it in the terminal by ctrl-C and the process is not visible in "top".
