I just upgraded to 11.10, but during the installation something happened towards the end with the adobe flash package and the installation just ended. It said it would try to recover, but didn't, and now I'm booting fine into 11.10. However, when I try to open Ubuntu Software Center, I get this dialog box:
When I click repair, it asks for the root password, then pops this up again. It will continue to pop up until I close the software center. I've tried to update/upgrade my repository, I've tried to sudo apt-get install -f, I've tried removing the adobe flash plugin, but nothing seems to be helping.
[EDIT] requested output (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade):
