[Bug 862266] [NEW] "Install" available but does nothing in live session

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Software Center 4.1.23.3, Ubuntu 11.10 beta 2

1. Start up into an Ubuntu live session.
2. Launch Ubuntu Software Center.
3. Navigate to the screen for GVim, and choose "Install".

What happens: A progress bar appears for a few seconds, and then the
"Install" button returns. GVim is not installed.

What should happen: Not sure yet. Probably some sort of explanation that
you need to install Ubuntu before installing software.

Removing software does work in the live session.

** Affects: software-center (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
