** Description changed:

- I tried installing astah-community package from Change Vision
- (http://astah.change-vision.com/en/product/astah-community.html) by
- dowloading a .deb package and double-clicking it. Software center
- constantly showed that package is installing. I had to kill software-
- center and few other processes (dpkg etc.).
+ software-center trunk r2404, Ubuntu 11.10 beta
+ 
+ 1. Download astah-community from Change Vision (http://astah.change-
+ vision.com/en/product/astah-community.html), or openemr from <http://www
+ .open-emr.org/download.shtml>.
+ 
+ 2. Open the .deb package and click "Install".
+ 
+ What happens: USC indefinitely shows that package is installing. I had
+ to kill software-center and few other processes (dpkg etc.).
  
  Then I tried installing it from the console with dpkg -i command.
  
  It turned out, that the package requires user to see the license (opened
  by less) and type 'yes' to accept it. GDebi seems to support it, but
  software-center doesn't, what makes such packages uninstallable for less
  advanced users.
