Software Center correctly installed the following programs when executed
following the 64-bit 2014-03_11.iso Desktop Installation
(3.13.0-16-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 4 23:02:40 UTC 2014):

1. Ubuntu Restricted Extras
2. Google Chrome Debian install
3. GParted
4. VLC
5. Unetbootin

Software Center will hang if the first program installed is Ubuntu
Restricted Extras. This bug manifests in every install after 2014-03_11
that I tested including the 2014-03_25 iso.

Software Center will fail with a Package operation failed error when a
Google Chrome Debian install is attempted. After that an attempt to
install Ubuntu Restricted Extras or GParted would fail with the same
error. Note, if the first program installed was GParted rather than
Google Chrome or Unbuntu Restricted Extras, the GParted installation
would be successful.

Knowing the approximate date that the failure was introduced should
help. Also, I am somewhat concerned that usability regression testing
may not catch this because the problem manifests differently depending
upon which program is installed first.

Finally, if I install from 2014-03-11 and then update to
(3.13.0-19-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 24 02:36:06 UTC 2014) the
failures described above will occur.
