[Matthew Paul Thomas]

So that we can reproduce this bug, could someone provide an example .deb
that is guaranteed not to install? :-)

Title:
  software-center does not provide enough information when a package
  fails to install

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  When a package fails to install, software-center informs you of the
  fact, but does not tell you which package, nor why.  It is not obvious
  how to retrieve the log.

  You can find out later by clicking on the explosion-icon on the panel,
  but this does not seem related to the task.
