Ubuntu Software Center will not load and cannot be removed
- by Drew Z.
My Ubuntu Software Center has stopped working and I have been trying to uninstall/re-install it. This is the error that I repeatedly keep receiving:
drew@drew-Aspire-5750:~$ sudo apt-get remove software-center
[sudo] password for drew:
