I was trying to troubleshoot a failed right mouse button click after freshly installing Ubuntu 12.04. However something now seems to be causing errors when I install anything in the Software Center. I get errors like below and a "package operation failed" dialogue.
installArchives() failed: Selecting previously unselected package python-gmenu.
