Title:
  Software Center difficulties, Add-ons cause removal of software

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Upon trying to add, "Pretty printing of mails (muttprint)" to Mozilla
  Thunderbird, the Software Center added the Add-on, and then promptly
  began the process of removing all entire Thunderbird installation.
  During the process, the removal is hung in the middle of the process
  and will not continue to completion. I'm not sure why it is preforming
  a removal, when I simply clicked on the Add-on, and then clicked on
  the Apply Changes button. However, it's been running for a long time
  now and doesn't seem like it's going to finish. This is a fresh
  install of Ubuntu 11.10, and I was just beginning to set up the
  computer when this occurred. Within the removal window, "Pretty
  printing of mails (muttprint)" is no longer highlighted during this
  self-induced software removal process.
