Background: Just recently my Ubuntu Software Center stopped working, and after a considerable amount of searching, I found the answer here. I thought that this is very good knowledge, so I'm considering posting it here Q&A, except that I know that this site has a strict policy about bug-related problems.

Question: Is it proper to post workarounds for known bugs? Or is that just as "bad" (for lack of a better word) as posting a bug report?
