Could you please add the following information to your bug report?

1) The output of 'apt-cache policy aptdaemon'
2) The full log file '/var/log/apt/term.log'
3) The log file '/var/log/dpkg.log'
4) The log file '~/.cache/software-center/software-center.log' (may not exist)
5) A crash file from '/var/crash/' with dpkg in the name. (may not exist)

Each of these attachments will need to be added separately. Thanks in
advance!
