    software-centre fails to run

    Software-centre fails to run if chrome is installed.
    Appears to be a python 2.7 error.

    Uninstalling Chrome (which I never use anyway) fixes it

    Yep...ran some afternoon updates and the fix was there...software center working fine again...
    debian testing was never like this...if something broke, it might not be fixed for quite a long time...you usually had to end up trying to fix it yourself...
