Yes, what did you get?
Q to all: I am not familiar with the internals of '-f install', i.e. is there a chance that parts of the software-center get removed at the beginning of the fix, the next step fails, then the missing parts get put in place again? To test that I ask Wes to make a stat /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/apt/__init__.py and report the c-time ... see more below ________________________________ From: Bill Barry <[email protected]> To: Eugene Unix and Gnu/Linux User Group <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, December 30, 2010 5:43:51 PM Subject: Re: [Eug-lug] Ubuntu 10.10 ...

Feel free to look at them, they are text files. See how much the outputs differ: diff apt-get_V*.txt | wc -l If the number is less than 20 run the following and clip&paste into email: diff apt-get_V-sim_log.txt apt-get_V_log.txt And to be really,really sure: stat /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/apt/__init__.py - Horst
