Hello shaquille, and thank you for your report. From the stacktrace that
you've attached, it appears that the log file for Software Center was
somehow corrupted or otherwise not readable. You've identified a
workaround and that should do the trick. If you have tried the
workaround, has the solved the problem for you then? Please let us know
if it has recurred.
Many thanks for your help!

Title:
Ubuntu Update Causes Software Center To Crash
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I downloaded Ubuntu 12.04LTS of ubuntu on July 29th, i installed it on
my laptop and than ran update manager and installed all updates. After
running updates the software center will not open.
It gave the following error:
<!--
File "/usr/bin/software-center", line 40, in <module>
import softwarecenter.log
File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/log.py", line 119, in
<module>
logfile_path, maxBytes=100 * 1000, backupCount=5)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/handlers.py", line 118, in __init__

stream = open(self.baseFilename, self.mode)
IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error:

-->
To fix this issue
I Rename that log file
from
*.log to *.log.invalid
then run software center again
if that works then you can delete the old log file, if it doesn't then change
the name back
