Wes, my admiration for hanging in there and keeping on 'fighting' :-)
Sorry, I should have been more literal:
On the terminal/shell enter ls -l /usr/share/software-center/
and it may look like
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
aws2:ubuntu:~/$ ls -l /usr/share/software-center/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-12-03 00:46 icons
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-12-03 00:46 images
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2010-12-03 01:00 softwarecenter
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2504 2010-07-20 00:55 software-center
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-12-03 00:46 templates
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-12-03 00:46 ui
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4783 2010-07-20 00:55 update-software-center
aws2:ubuntu:~/$
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tell us what the output looks like -- just copy&paste the text, no image.
In case it helps, I am also attaching the corresponding listing of
software-center.postinst
======== /var/lib/dpkg/info/software-center.postinst ==========
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Automatically added by dh_pycentral
rm -f /var/lib/pycentral/software-center.pkgremove
if which pycentral >/dev/null 2>&1; then
pycentral pkginstall software-center
if grep -qs '^software-center$' /var/lib/pycentral/delayed-pkgs; then
sed -i '/^software-center$/d' /var/lib/pycentral/delayed-pkgs
fi
fi
# End automatically added section
if [ "$1" = "triggered" ] || [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
# update the application data
update-software-center --triggered "$2" || true
exit 0
fi
=================================================================
Switching gears: If you eventually get tired and try to re-install, let us know
and we may help you saving existing user data *before* you wipe the drive clean.
