** Description changed:

  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.
+ 
+ (To recover after testing this bug and killing dpkg: "sudo dpkg
+ --force-remove-reinstreq -r the-package-you-interrupted && sudo apt-get
+ install -f".)
