Experiencing in Ubuntu 12.10 [Quantal] as well . Perhaps it is related to the fact that 'Quantal Package List Contains Sources That Cannot Be Downloaded' (Bug #1003042 refers: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1003042). Basically when you use APTITUDE to to a similar thing you get:
W:Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found , W:Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found , W:Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Unfortunately, we cant use Ubuntu-bug to report the error because it doesn't stay active long enough to capture the PID. I simply opens, thinks for a second, and then closes gracefully. ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu Software Center does not load + Ubuntu Software Center Loads and then Closes -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003218 Title: Ubuntu Software Center Loads and then Closes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1003218/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
