[Bug 620196] Re: synaptic locked up---unable to update or use synaptic manager

[Horst Franke]

Hello there,

I'm a newbee in Linux, and I find Ylmf very useful. But the software-
center doesn't work. I was searching in different foren, but no hint
helped me:

If I start it, it will start (I see it in the taskbar) and then it closes.
If I start it with the terminal, it will start, and stops with 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/software-center", line 78, in <module>
    from softwarecenter.app import SoftwareCenterApp
  File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/app.py", line 42, in <module>
    from view.viewswitcher import ViewSwitcher, ViewSwitcherList
  File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/view/viewswitcher.py", line 34, in <module>
    from softwarecenter.backend.channel import SoftwareChannel
  File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/backend/channel.py", line 22, in <module>
    from softwarecenter.distro import get_distro
  File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/distro/__init__.py", line 88, in <module>
    distro_instance=_get_distro()
  File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/distro/__init__.py", line 77, in _get_distro
    module =  __import__(distro_id, globals(), locals(), [], -1)
ImportError: No module named Ylmf_OS

Can anyone help me, please?
