According to <https://errors.ubuntu.com/bucket/?id=%2Fusr%2Fshare%2Fsoftware-center%2Fsoftware-center%3A%3A_run_transaction>, the issue here is not unmet dependencies, but rather a python backtrace due to software-center refusing to install a package that fails lintian checks:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/backend/installbackend_impl/aptd.py", line 964, in _run_transaction
    yield trans.run(defer=True)
TransactionFailed: Transaction failed: The package is of bad quality
 Lintian check results for /tmp/skype-ubuntu_4.0.0.8-1_amd64.deb:

I guess this exception needs to be trapped in some manner?
