[Bug 880241] [NEW] Ubuntu 11.10 Software center not installing apps

[Donatas Azaravičius]

Public bug reported:

I installed ubuntu 11.10 64-bit and tried to install program, but the installation button were gray and had not worked (could not have been hit).  If the program can install additional packages, they also were gray and could not be marked. But with "sudo apt-get install" and "sudo dpkg -i" it was possible to install programs without errors. I tried 32bit ubuntu on another computer, still same problem.
In the forum I found advice to try some commands, but they did not.
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
