[Bug 433232] Re: software-center doesn't provide correct error dialog when package can't be installed

[Kiwinote]

** Summary changed:

- software-store doesn't provide error dialog when package can't be installed
+ software-center doesn't provide correct error dialog when package can't be installed

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: software-store
+ When a package can not be installed due to unmet dependencies software-center currently displays the following message:
+ 'Package dependencies cannot be resolved: This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Futhermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time. >Details'
  
- When I try to install the Dillo browser from Ubuntu Software Store I get
- the following error message and the package is not installed:
- 
- Traceback (most recent call last):
-   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 103, in _process_transaction
-     self.commit_packages(**self.trans.kwargs)
-   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 140, in commit_packages
-     self._mark_packages_for_installation(install)
-   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 178, in _mark_packages_for_installation
-     pkg.markInstall()
-   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apt/package.py", line 1076, in markInstall
-     fixer.Resolve(True)
- SystemError: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

- I am using Karmic alpha 6 (on VirtualBox) with software-stored updated
- to 0.3.6.1
