Re: [Bug 1132561] [NEW] Software Center crashes on start-up
The culprit was found to be a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list file that was not world readable. But I maintain my stance on the bug -- the software center should be smart enough to recognize such an error and report a meaningful error message rather than crashing.
