Hi! Thanks for your bug report and sorry for the delayed response. As you may be aware, during each cycle a lot of work goes into software-center. However, over time we build up a long list of bugs which are most likely no longer present in recent versions of software-center.
In an attempt to clean up the bug list for software-center I am expiring this bug because it was filed against an old version of software-center which shipped in Ubuntu 11.04 and in addition it meets one or more of the following criteria: - it would seem quite likely that this bug is no longer present in recent versions of software-center, - the bug report does not contain sufficient information for us to reproduce and/or fix the bug, - the issue is most likely in an external piece of code and has most likely been fixed since the bug was reported. If you experience any problems with Software Center in Ubuntu 12.04, please do continue to report new bugs. Thanks again for your help! ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Expired -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815580 Title: Package fails to install and no information is provided Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: I am trying to install Adobe Flash plugin via Ubuntu Software Center. I accept the partner source. It reports the installation as in progress in the left sidebar. That disappears. There is no record of this install attempt in History in any context. Flash doesn't work. It apparently wasn't successful, but I'm left to wonder why. If the install failed or succeeded, I should be told and the outcome logged, either way. As it stands there is nothing.
