Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: software-center

I saw the following, when upgrading software-center while SSH'ed in
remotely:

Setting up software-center (3.0.5) ...
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning: could not 
open display
  warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)

My DISPLAY variable is set, but XAUTHORITY is not (since the apt-get(8)
invocation is running as root via sudo).

The software-center upgrade script(s) should not be making any use of
X11 whatsoever, whether DISPLAY is set or not.

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