After upgrading to 10.10, I have been unable to use the software centre to install. Every time I click 'install', the install progress bar just hangs, reading 'Waiting for apt-get to exit'. The same thing happens when attempting to install upgrades via Update Manager.

I can however update via Synaptic and using 'apt-get upgrade' in the terminal.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I think you have already found the solution. Software Centre is probably the most buggy application in Ubuntu, so it is fine to stick to the alternatives.
