Thanks for the report, rwillhoite. Unfortunately, there isn't enough
information here for us to tell what the problem is. I just tried
installing both Kexi and the SQLite browser, and both worked.
You mention security certificates. Are you getting an error message that
refers to security certificates? If so, can you copy and paste the error
message into this bug report? Thanks.

Title:
Some Packages Refuse to Install
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: software-center
I tried to install Kexi and the SQLite database browser. The Software
Center will not all them to install. I don't care about security
certificates. This is a MAJOR USABILITY PROBLEM. Most user will not
know to go the command line and install software from there.
This needs to be fixed. I call it a bug. Either remove the packages
that will not install without a certificate or fix the problem so this
doesn't happen anymore.
I'm planning on training people how to install software. This puts a
big roadblock in my way. I can resolve this issue, but most people
will become completely lost and frustrated when they can't install
software.
