Reporting specific Ubuntu Software Center issues?

Question

To whom or where do I report issues with the Ubuntu Software Center?

I am trying to download OpenShot and it tells me that I have no Internet connection... Despite the fact that I do have a working Internet connection and I was able to install an unrelated program using the Ubuntu Software Center.

Clearly there is something wrong with this specific program...

Try these steps to install the package:

Get the package name.
Use this command in a terminal, replace package with the name from step 1.
```
sudo apt-get install 'package'
```
The package should then be installed.

If these steps worked, it is a Software Center problem, you can report it via the steps in this question: How do I report a bug?.

Champion, worked like a charm (that's a neat work-around, by the way)!
Thanks!

Yeah, it (Ask Ubuntu/Stack Exchange) said I had to wait wait five minutes... So I'm sucking on some cancer then I'll do it. – Gregory Opera Feb 12 '14 at 08:23
