Author: Not available in the current data – Ubuntu Software Center
I just install the new Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and i was very happy. I am especially pleased with the new look of the Ubuntu Desktop and of the Ubuntu Netbook Remix releases.
One thing thing that has been an issue, is that on using the new Ubuntu Software Center, I get the following error messages:
Not available in the current data
and
Not available for your hardware architecture
So in case anyone else is running into this try running:
sudo apt-get update
in a terminal.
From the man page:
“update is used to resynchronize the package index files from their sources.”
After that everything worked fine.

Thanks, I had the same problem, this worked perfectly.
Oh you are very welcome, i was have the same problem when i install the new version of Ubuntu 9.10 so i share this here
.
Thank you so much for this post mate, I was having the exact same issue, this has sorted it out though!!!
annnnny time dude
I am new to Ubuntu as of several hours ago. This was a big help.
Yeah you are so welcome
, That’s was a problem to mee too 
so i write this post 
.
DUDE! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I just got Ubuntu 9.10 on my usb and am running it on an acer aspire one with the 8 gig ssd. I was so excited to try a linux program and then got so discouraged with it. This really gave my spirit a jumpstart. For all you noobs like me, your terminal is an application that is probably pre-installed. It can be found under accessories. Have a blast- My little acer is SOOO much faster with this OS rather than XP. =)
hehehehe, Really you are so welcome
. And Linux is so faster and better than this crazy OS “XP” 
.
I’m also new to Ubuntu – this is my first install of Linux ever… and I was wondering what was going on when I saw this strange error. Thanks to you for putting up the solution!
OMG thank you so much:) it was very discouraging to think of having ubuntu without customizations! you saved the day!
Ok i typed sudo apt-get update……. still doesn’t work.
Whats “From the man page:
“update is used to resynchronize the package index files from their sources.”
I don’t understand why it worked for others but not mine..
Another thanks! Was at my wits end as to why I got that message
“dustin” i don’t why it hasn’t worded with u but what i did and every one did too is:
1- open terminal
2- copy and past this in terminal “sudo apt-get update”
3- then u have enter your password sure
4- it will work with u i wish but don’t forget to connect 2 the internet SURE
