Description: Utility for browsing, installing, and removing applications
 The Ubuntu Software Center lets you browse and install thousands of free
 applications available for Ubuntu. You can view available applications by
 category, or search quickly by name or description. You can also examine the
 applications already installed, and remove those you no longer need. 
 
 To install or remove software using the Center, you need administrator access
 on the computer.

When trying to install Glade from the software center, I expected that
by clicking on it, it would resolve dependencies and install the latest
version of Glade. Instead I received an error that states:

Package dependencies cannot be resolved. This error could be caused by
required additional software packages which are missing or not
installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software
packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.

If  you expand the details drop-down it says: 
glade-gnome-2

I was able to install Glade from the CLI using: sudo apt-get install
glade

This resolves the dependencies and installs Glade 3.6.7.


This is a transitional package; see the glade-gnome package instead.

** Affects: software-center (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
