Title:
  Software Center does not enable "universe" when it enables
  "multiverse" software sources of dependencies

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On a clean install of Ubuntu (or in this case, on the LiveCD), when
  the first thing you do is install Flash, Software Center replaces the
  usual "Install" button with a "Use This Source" button, because Flash
  is located in the multiverse repository.

  After clicking "Use This Source", the multiverse repository is
  enabled, and the "Install" button is once again displayed. However,
  this button doesn't work because, I think, Adobe Flash has
  dependencies in universe, which _isn't_ enabled. In this case,
  Software Center should in fact also (allow you to) enable the universe
  software source.
