You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software" The Software Center needs to be able to fix these problems for a user! Either automagically or through a popup notification saying something along the lines of: "The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software. Would you like the software center to repair your packages? <yes> <no>". A GTK dialog that would invoke 'sudo apt-get -f install', 'sudo dpkg --configure -a', or similar would fix this nasty problem for many users that wouldn't understand what is going on. - - ProblemType: Bug - Architecture: amd64 - Date: Sun Oct 4 10:03:39 2009 - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 - Package: software-center 0.4.3 - PackageArchitecture: all - ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-11.36-generic - SourcePackage: software-center - Uname: Linux 2.6.31-11-generic x86_64
