This bug occurs when attempting to use nautilus with any .deb. Based on symptom it seems to be a reversion of a bug I was experiencing several months ago.
A quick workaround if you're attempting to install a .deb is: sudo dpkg -i package_file.deb If you're attempting to uninstall, you can use: sudo dpkg -r package_file.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827615 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/827615/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
