Thanks for your bugreport.
The following lines in the log indicate that there might be a problem with the
backend daemon:
...
2012-03-17 16:25:15,849 - softwarecenter.backend - WARNING - _on_trans_error:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes
include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security
policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection
was broken.
...
Could you please attach /var/log/syslog to this file?
Could you also please close software-center, then open a terminal and run:
$ sudo aptd --disable-timeout --replace --debug
and after that run software-center again and try to uninstall something again?
I'm interessted in the output of the terminal window that has the "aptd"
application running.
Thanks,
Michael

Title:
Software Center locks up installs/uninstalls
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and used the previous versions
before when they contained the older archive manager for
installing/uninstalling software. But for some reason I have been
unable to uninstall a thing after the first day I've used Software
Center. Normally I can figure out what I need to do but I've exhausted
all ideas I can think of to try... it's just being a pain.
