Hi,
Trying to find a workaround for the following bug, I've tried to launch xdg-open in root mode:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/software-center/+bug/1315541

Here is what I typed:  gksudo xdg-open apt:adobe-flashplugin?channel
=$distro-partner

It successfully ask my root password, but failed to open the software-
center window.  Note that without the “gksudo”, software-center launches
itself and only failed when trying to effectively install the package
because of lack of privileges.

Here is the output of the command line:

Martin, still wondering why software-center was chosed to be the default
installing interface when it clearly can't handle its job correctly…
