Software manager crashes in GUI

I just got FC5 running on my main box but I keep getting this error when I try 
to use the GUI software manager to review my applications installed.  This 
install started as FC2 but FC5 would not install in upgrade mode so I 
upgraded to FC3, then FC4, then FC5

Does any one have ideas of how to fix this?

Can some one tell me how to review then add/remove applications with the 
shell?
