[Bug 1166981] Re: Ubuntu Software Centre: Removing libxml-libxml-perl ... Error in function:

[Carla Granberg]

ALSO:

The above error renders the Ubuntu Software Centre "unusable".    Upon
startup the Software Centre now displays the following message:

Items cannot be installed or removed until the package catalogue is repaired.
Do you want to repair it now?

Once Update Manager has finished the repairs, you can close it and
return to the store.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the Repair button is clicked, then we returned to thefirst error message reported
"Removing libxml-libxml-perl ..."
reported above

Stuck in a loop ...
