[Bug 824006] [NEW] Clicking "install" in software center doesn't do anything

[Oded Arbel]

Public bug reported:

In Oneiric, starting the Ubuntu Software Center and clicking "Install"
on any application doesn't do anything - simply nothing happens.

When I tun software center from the command line, I see this in the output:
2011-08-10 18:14:58,073 - softwarecenter.backend - WARNING - _on_trans_error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.TypeError: Traceback (most recent call last):
