[Bug 822983] [NEW] 'Install' button doesn't do anything in software center

[Jeff Lane]

Public bug reported:

Testing Oneiric Alpha 3.  I opened software-center and attempted to
install a couple applications.  First, I tried installing Cheese.  When
I clicked on Install from both the search results (I searched for Video)
and on the Info page for Cheese, nothing happened.  Cheese did not
install, I got no password dialog box, nada.  The button just went dark
for a second and then back to default.

I tried to install guvcview using the same methods, and again, I was
unable to install the software.
