** Description changed: - Binary package hint: software-center + software-center 3.0.7, Ubuntu 10.10 I had VirtualBox 3.2 (commercial, not OSE) installed. I've downloaded 4.0, and executed the package so that Software Center opens it. It greyed out the "install" button and only said it conflicts with 3.2 Virtualbox. I resolved it manually by uninstalling VirtualBox in the terminal via apt-get, but there is no obvious easy way to resolve the issue in Software Center itself. - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 - Package: software-center 3.0.7 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-23.41-generic 2.6.35.7 - Uname: Linux 2.6.35-23-generic x86_64 - NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia - Architecture: amd64 - Date: Mon Jan 17 23:07:18 2011 - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) - PackageArchitecture: all - ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, user) - LANG=en_ZA.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: software-center + <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#installing>: "When you request + to install a software item: ... 6.
