When i open ubuntu software center , it automatically closes within seconds. why?

Question

I even tried opening it through terminal, it does the same thing.

try to run it with sudo? it seems you got a problem with interference with you user account. — biozalp, Nov 07 '15 at 09:54

open up a terminal and run this command sudo apt-get install --reinstall libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 and try to start Software Center from terminal again. — Neil, Nov 07 '15 at 12:24

Looks like Software Center failed to Load a shared library libwedkitgtk-3.0.so.0

reinstall it by opening up a terminal and running the following command.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libwebkitgtk-3.0-0

and try to start Software Center again.
