Public bug reported:

Software Center version 4.1.23.5, Ubuntu Oneiric

If an error occurs during the download of a package during an install,
the installation simply fails silently with no notice to the user of the
problem. In the previous gtk2-based UI, we displayed an error dialog in
this case. We just need to restore the dialog as it was displayed in the
previous UI. All translatable strings, etc. are already in place for
this.

Note that the error case is reported in the log output as before. It's
only the dialog itself that is missing:
