Title:
Error message: An unhandleable error occured
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The error message starts with "An unhandleable error occured." The next two
lines state, "There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software
that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package
management related tasks." Under Details, the message continues with,
"Traceback (most recent call last):

SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate a file for the
ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. This might mean you need to manually fix
this package.:
This problem first occurred when I tried installing Wine. Wine hung
up at about 66% install. After a couple of hours of no improvement, I
rebooted and was able to clear the Software Center, but nothing else
would install. I have tried installing several versions of a sound
recording program after this with the same message coming up each
time. How do I fix this?
I am using Xubuntu 11.10
I think I am using the 5.0.4 version of the software center
