[Bug 885831] [NEW] Software Center difficulties, Add-ons cause removal of software

[Arafel93]

Public bug reported:

Upon trying to add, "Pretty printing of mails (muttprint)" to Mozilla
Thunderbird, the Software Center added the Add-on, and then promptly
began the process of removing all entire Thunderbird installation.
During the process, the removal is hung in the middle of the process and
will not continue to completion. I'm not sure why it is preforming a
removal, when I simply clicked on the Add-on, and then clicked on the
Apply Changes button. However, it's been running for a long time now and
doesn't seem like it's going to finish. This is a fresh install of
Ubuntu 11.10, and I was just beginning to set up the computer when this
occurred. Within the removal window, "Pretty printing of mails
(muttprint)" is no longer highlighted during this self-induced software
removal process.
