Bug description:
  I was trying to install google-talkplugin (google-talkplugin_current_amd64.deb) from downloaded file. I clicked in downloaded file in the  list of downloaded files of firefox window, noothing happened, so i did it once more. In a moment there was opened two instances of software-center and crash happened.
