i've got a completely stripped lubuntu called linaro (lxde desktop, H8 arm processor, cubietruckplus/cubieboard5) on my console, since the hardware is custom i can't install ubuntu the way i'm used. what libaries are needed for software center? i have installed synaptic and xapian, but the software center tells me there's something wrong with my location? i tried following the installation for mint and it installs, but it's not working.

    You need to actually give errors. – TheWanderer Sep 11 '16 at 13:46

    [Edit](http://askubuntu.com/posts/823626/edit) your question and tell us what are those `something wrong with your location` it said. – Anwar Sep 11 '16 at 14:56
  • Could you please add a little more detail? What *exactly* did you do, what did you want to achieve and what happened instead? Did you encounter any warning or error messages? Please reproduce them in their entirety in your question. (see [How do I ask a good question?](/help/how-to-ask)) – David Foerster Sep 12 '16 at 19:53

To show the dependencies of the Ubuntu Software Center (software-center) open the terminal and type:

apt-cache showpkg software-center

To show the dependencies of Lubuntu Software Center (lubuntu-software-center):

apt-cache showpkg lubuntu-software-center

Maybe you can try finding all the dependencies of the software centre. Here is how you find all the dependencies:

apt-cache depends software-center

If I do that on my system (16.04) I see the following output:

software-center
  Depends: <python:any>
    python:i386
    python
  Depends: iso-codes
  Depends: app-install-data
  Depends: aptdaemon
  Depends: software-center-aptdaemon-plugins

  Recommends: software-properties-gtk
  Recommends: sessioninstaller
  Recommends: xz-utils
    xz-utils:i386
  Replaces: <gnome-app-install>
    software-center

And here is what one gets for lubuntu:

> apt-cache depends lubuntu-software-center

lubuntu-software-center
  Depends: python
  Depends: python
  Depends: python-apt
 |Depends: python-gi
  Depends: python-gobject
  Depends: gir1.2-gtk-3.0
  Depends: gir1.2-notify-0.7
  Depends: python-pysqlite2
  Depends: python-aptdaemon
  Depends: python-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets
  Depends: python-xdg
  Depends: app-install-data

I suspect you would need to install all the packages listed there to get Software centre to work properly.

[Edited to add the output for lubuntu's version of software centre.]
