Public bug reported:
Usually I'm a command line user, but today I decided to give the
software center in my newly installed ubuntu a chance. Selected
wireshark from the list and started installation. The progress tab
showed a nice progress bar next to it, which completed to about 85% or
so, and then remained there for a couple of minutes. It looked to me as
though the process was hung for some reason, but as I couldn't get the
output from the installation, I couldn't make a decision as to what was
going on. Several minutes later, with the progress bar still stuck at
the same point, I lost patience. Pstree told me that aptd was running
dpkg was running frontend. Frontend sounds a lot like something designed
for user interaction, although I'm not sure. I killed frontend. The
install continued a bit, then hung again. This time I found and killed
another instance of frontend with little waiting.
After killing that second frontend process, software-center informed me
that the install had failed, and finally presented the output as
details. It did so in a text box which was about two rows high, inside a
dialog box which I could not resize. The only reasonable way to actually
read the text was copy it to some other application. The German umlauts
got lost somewhere along the way. Here is thetail end of the log:

wireshark
The "gettet" should probably mean "getötet" i.e. "killed". "Beendet"
means "terminated" and is probably the translation of SIGTERM. Hope this
is of some use.
After the failed install via software center, I installed the package
via command line without any incident. So I'd say it's not a bug in the
wireshark package but in the way software-center interacts with it.
Might be wrong there, though.
