You made me look. There IS a gnome-software-common deb package, but no 
software-center ala Ubuntu.

Is Synaptic not similar??  Or at least, does it not perform the same function?

Ubuntu software center is fancy. If I recall correctly it also offers 
for-sale apps too. From the bug reports I still receive, after years 
they still haven't fixed the captcha that prevents anyone from creating 
an account for filing rude comments. From my experience, that would be 
by design. <heh heh> Ric

Of coarse it is, takes one body off the payroll under the support column.

I actually.physically *shuddered* when I read those words. That was
just before then thinking... In Debian?

Rafal, my kneejerk observation is... if you went to some extraordinary
effort to install "that" Software Center in Debian, that right there
may well be the issue. I've actually been there and done that. Tried
it a couple times, and those couple times things like stability would
QUICKLY degrade into a non-functional mess.

If you're speaking of something else that you're calling "Software
Center", you'll need to find out the exact name of the package so
others can help further..

IF THIS WAS ME... I would update my software center by its name via a
terminal command line using APT. That means you would first have to
run "apt-get update" to make sure your system is pulling from the
absolute latest releases available.

Then you would run, well, *I* would run... "apt-get install
[software-package-name]".

But again you need the exact name of your software update center. For
newcomers who don't know, you can 99 times'ISH out of 100 find that
name by looking for the word "Help" in your software's toolbar then
clicking "About" that is found there by consistent, universal focused
design across developers. If your package is crashing as quickly as it
sounds for Rafal's, you might have click FAST to find it.

As a further aside, one lesson learned on the fly was that the
terminal command "ps -a" gives me that information, too. That's only
for packages that are running (that are being actively used).

For the permanent record, it's things just like what you're going
through here that landed me at APT where I have never looked back
since going that route for updates, package inquiries, and new
installs. I LOVE the feeling of control that it gives!!!!

Good luck!

Cindy :)

I especially love not being a hostage any more. THANK YOU DEBIAN! Ric
