[Bug 803363] Re: Bought software fails to install

[Arne Caspari]

Hello Gary,

thank you  very much for your quick response. I was able to get this
resolved by myself by installing the packages "steelstorm-episode2" and
"steelstorm-episode2-data" by hand with "apt-get install" from the
commandline. After some glitches, this worked ( the first time one of
the packages had a size missmatch, the second time worked though ). I am
sorry I do not remember if apt-get warned me about the untrusted source
but it may very well have.

A network glitch during the software-center install is likely since I
did not look for the package size and installed while on a not-so-stable
UMTS connection. However I had another package in the install queue
while waiting for the steelstorm installation ( libsdl1.2-dev ) which
installed just fine.

Now the software-center only offers me to uninstall the package - I will
do that now and try to reinstall the package and let you know the
result.

Title:
  Bought software fails to install

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I bought "Steel Storm" from the ubuntu software center but it failed
  to install ( for unknown reason, I did not see an error message but
  the software was not installed after a while and there was no ongoing
  installation in the software center).

  I tried to reinstall via: "File/reinstalled purchased software..." (
  or similar, I am using the German version ). It asks for my Ubuntu
  Single Sign On credentials but fails to login with "Method CreateItem
  with signature 'a{sv}(oayay)b' on interface
  org.freedesktop.Secret.Collection doesn't exist"

  Also there is now an "Install" button in the entry for "Steel Storm"
  but if I click that, the installation fails saying it can not install
  from an untrusted source.
