This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 0.4.6

---------------
software-center (0.4.6) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - add versionized dependency to aptdaemon (needs some of the
      latest API for the async calls) LP: #444218
  * softwarecenter/view/pendingview.py:
    - display the operation (Install Packages, Remove Packages,
      Applying Changes) for operations that come from outside
      software-center (LP: #444254)
  * softwarecenter/app.py:
    - do not crah on corrupted database
  * utils/update-software-center:
    - ignore if dbus can not be imported (e.g. because we are in
      the middle of a upgrade and python packages are unavailable)
      LP: #443177)
    - do not show full stacktrace if dbus is not available
      (LP: #444089)
    - add a small delay between dubs rebuild signal and actual rebuild
      (LP: #438639)
