  Clicking "install" in software center doesn't do anything

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

Bug description:
  In Oneiric, starting the Ubuntu Software Center and clicking "Install"
  on any application doesn't do anything - simply nothing happens.

  When I tun software center from the command line, I see this in the output:
