Installation problem with the latest stable release

[Thomas Baumgart]

Hi Peter,

we are not in a position to give you a definitive answer about the Xubuntu 
software centre. We just provide the source code that others take to create 
installable packages. You might want to figure out who created the package for 
Xubuntu 14 and get in touch with them.

Regards

Thomas
