Thanks for your bugreport.
Could you please run (in a terminal):
$ killall software-center
$ software-center
and attach the output that produces? From the log it appears that a hanging
software-center is still in the background. The log has:
2011-04-28 15:50:14,435 - softwarecenter.db - ERROR - failed to add

DatabaseCorruptError: Data ran out unexpectedly when reading posting list.
So that looks like the xapian index is not build yet (that should be fine) but
then the corruption error appears. I wonder
if initially apt-xapian-index is missing but during the course of the usage it
got created and that causes the issues.
