I've got the same error message. It's reproducible. Happens with Lucid Alpha 1 running from live USB stick.
Also, related or not, starting from CLI gives: ubu...@ubuntu:~$ software-center Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/software-center", line 80, in <module> app = SoftwareCenterApp(datadir, xapian_base_path) File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/app.py", line 204, in __init__ self.config = get_config() File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/backend/config.py", line 39, in get_config _software_center_config = SoftwareCenterConfig(SOFTWARE_CENTER_CONFIG_FILE) File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/backend/config.py", line 28, in __init__ os.path.makedirs(os.path.dirname(config)) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'makedirs' ubu...@ubuntu:~$ after that, the error in this bug reports occurs. -- software-center crashed with AttributeError in __init__() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449385 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
