[Bug 788158] Re: Oneiric: 404 page when trying to buy something

[Michael Nelson]

Hi Dave, if this current bug 788158 is "Oneiric: 404 page when trying to
buy something", I'm not sure how the new bug 857268 is different? Or,
now that Kiwinote has fixed the client so it no-longer displays non-
purchasable apps in Oneiric, should we redefine this bug for software-
center-agent to display  the error correctly if USC ever displays non-
purchasable apps again? IMO a 404 is the correct response for the web
service to return if it gets asked to initiate a purchase for an app
that doesn't exist in that series, but it could be much more
descriptive.

Title:
  Oneiric: 404 page when trying to buy something

Status in Developer registration portal:
  Invalid
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  When I click the Buy button in Oneiric, I got asked for my SSO
  username and password.  Then after entering that, it brought me to a
  404 page on ubuntu.com (embedded in software-center).

  I tried again, on a different for-purchase app and this time did not
  get prompted for username/password (so must have been valid last time
  and saved), but still got the 404.
