[Bug 789120] Re: package software-center 4.0.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[simi]

Hi,

Yes that does resolve the problem, but I have to do that every time I
have to upgrade because it does not recognize when I switch to 2.7 with
update-alternatives.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I guess it's not a bug.
