Title:
  Programming error in aptdaemon when install/remove in USC

Status in Aptdaemon:
  New
Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: aptdaemon

  Ubuntu 10.10
  usb-modeswitch 1.1.4-1
  aptdaemon
  Ubuntu Software Centre
  /usr/bin/software-center

  Attempted to install the Option Globetrotter Add-on to the usb-
  modeswitch app. The install hung so Ubuntu Software Centre was closed,
  computer rebooted and USC opened up. It claimed that the add-on had
  been installed (as does Synaptic). Then attempted to install the other
  add-on (PPP) and received this error message:

  
  An unhandled error occured

  There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that
  allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package
  management related tasks. Please report this error at
