Hi freelancer! Hm, it seems like your apt-xapian-index values file is
somehow corrupted. Could you please close Software Center if it is open,
and then in a terminal type the following command?

  $ sudo update-apt-xapian-index -f

Note that this command will take a few minutes to complete. Once it has
completed, please try again to open Software Center and let us know if
you still get this error.

If it does work after this, please let us know that also.  :)

Thank you for your help!
