[Bug 956048] Re: /etc/apt/auth.conf should have lines removed when application/ppas are

[Selene Scriven]

This seems to affect a fair amount of users who were hit by Bug
#1008289.  After reprocessing the subscriptions on the server, they
still get the same error because of the old auth.conf data.

One guy figured out that the purchases are installable again after
removing dupes from /etc/apt/auth.conf, and now I'm instructing other
users to do the same.
