[Bug 487682] Re: Software Store Forbids Installation After apt-get Update cannot directly access Internet

[Chauncellor]

Oneiric's software center has actually lost error messages entirely: The
same behavior will make a progress bar flip out then act like I never
touched the 'install' button. No error message. Apt-get will do the same
thing as before: Ask if I'm sure I want to install an unauthenticated
package.

@mvo: my 'partial' directory contains about nine blank files with titles
dealing with my for-paid apps, e.g.

"private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_world-of-
goo_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_i18n_Translation-en%5fUS"

Title:
  Software Store Forbids Installation After apt-get Update cannot
  directly access Internet

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  I'm on a university connection that requires a log in every twelve
  hours before I may access the internet. When apt-get update is
  automatically run, it can't download the information, which is fine.
  Once I'm logged in again, though, and try to install something through
  the software-store, it tells me that my package is an untrusted
  source.

  I never had this problem with gnome-app-install or synaptic, this has
  only happened with software-center, so I'm filing the bug against that
  package. Synaptic/apt-get will warn you that the package sources
  cannot be authenticated but will still allow you to install. The
  Software Center/update manager will flat-out refuse to until the
  sources are updated.

  Please see the screenshot for a visual or the video demonstrating the
  bug process in post 6.
