[Bug 1068680] Re: Software center does not start [dbus.proxies - ERROR - Introspect error]

[bootchk]

I can confirm den.t 's analysis and recommended fix (above).

I am a programmer, and futzed with sip and pyqt (downloaded and built a
later version than is provided by Ubuntu) and then suffered this
problem.

If Ubuntu depends so much on Python, Qt, and PyQt, should it sandbox
them from developers?
