After having some trouble with Ubuntu Software Centre on 16.04LTS, I noticed I had both ubuntu-software and software-center installed. I have removed them both. Which one should I install?

Software Centre comes by default in Ubuntu versions prior to 16.04.

Ubuntu Software comes by default in Ubuntu versions 16.04 and later, and is much better than Software Centre. It is the latest one and is thus recommended.

Funny thing is software-centre seems to work whilst ubuntu-software does not. – Bruno Nov 10 '16 at 5:44
    
Then use Software Centre if Ubuntu Software isn't working. – Gautam Vashisht Nov 10 '16 at 5:54
    
"Ubuntu Software <SNIP> and is much better" -- I've never understood how people could say this. The search functionality on Ubuntu Software is basically useless. – krumpelstiltskin Nov 7 '17 at 13:03
