I found a work-around but am not sure which side-effects this may have. Obvoiusly the following files were corrupted during upgrade to 10.10:
/var/lib/apt-xapian-index/cataloged_times.p /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/values cataloged_times.p had just binary data and values looked more like a README file. After I deleted both files, I was able to start root@montreal:/var/lib/apt-xapian-index# update-apt-xapian-index -v which rebuild both files. Software-center now also works again. cataloged_times.p contains now text information and values actually looks like a data-base. Not sure what caused the corruptions during upgrade to 10.10, but obviously it happened to others as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877627 Title: Software Center is not opening on 11.10 after update from 11.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/software-center/+bug/877627/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
