Title:
  'Install' button doesn't do anything in software center

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
