Thanks for your report. I think that part of this problem may be related to NetworkManager (the Ubuntu subsystem responsible for detecting and handling network and Internet connections).
Please check your network icon at the top right of your screen (next to the clock). Does the icon say that the connection is working (it should not show a red cross)? ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/889411 Title: Software center not instaling deb Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Software center not instaling deb files if here are not internet connection.
