I just tried to reproduce this problem with Ubuntu Software Center 4.1.23.3, 
but could not. Here's what I did:
1. At a terminal, entered "sudo chmod a-r /var/log/apt/*" (making all the 
history files unreadable)
2. At a terminal, entered "rm ~/.cache/software-center/apthistory.p" (deleting 
the history cache too)
3. Launched USC
4. Navigated to the History screen
5. Closed USC
6. Restored the previous state with "sudo chmod a+r /var/log/apt/*"

USC launched fine. The "History" screen was empty, which was what I
expected.

If you still experience the problem, you could help get it fixed by providing 
the error message:
1. close Ubuntu Software Center, if it's open already
2. enter the command "software-center" in a Terminal window
3. trigger the error
4. copy any error output from the Terminal window, and paste it into this bug 
report.

Thanks.
