sorry my bad, this is what appears to have happened. If software-center is already running then it will work when you run 'software-center /path/package.deb'.
If there is not an instance of software-center already running, then the above command fails. the import of DebFileApplication fails, so DebFileApplication becomes an empty class without a constructor. ** Patch removed: "software-center.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/824692/+attachment/2273551/+files/software-center.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/824692 Title: software-center crashed with TypeError in show_available_packages(): this constructor takes no arguments To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/824692/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
