Thanks for this report, and sorry for the slow response. With Ubuntu Software Center 4.1.23.3 open, I just clicked on every link in <http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS_repository>. In every case it navigated to the appropriate screen (a "Not found" screen for many of them), and it didn't crash at all.
If you still experience the problem, please provide the error message: 1. close Ubuntu Software Center, if it's open already 2. enter the command "software-center" in a Terminal window 3. trigger the error 4. copy any error output from the Terminal window, and paste it into this bug report. Thanks. ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/718602 Title: Software center crashes on apt://xxx link Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: software-center Hello, Invalid apt-link in a HTML document. When I click an apt-link that has invalid package name, the software center crashes. Sometimes it works right and the software-center dialog appears and reports that the "package was not found". In most cases the dialog simply crashes and vanishes. Create a HTML document and add invalid apt-link. Then click on it.
