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

[Michael Vogt]

Thanks for this updated info! This is actually progress (but still a
bug). It seems that now the package information is correct, so s-c tries
to download the package but that fails. Obviously this should result in
a error. Anything on the terminal or in ~/.xsession-errors when this
happens?

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.
