Hi Rick, thanks for your report. I just tried to reproduce but I was
able to successfully install sandboxgamemaker using recent updates after
Precise beta 2 and Ubuntu Software Center version 5.1.14.1. I did notice
that it took quite a while after clicking the "install vendor content"
box for the install to complete, but it did complete, and I could run
the game (couldn't quit it, but that is a different issue). ;)
Would you mind giving it another shot to see if you still get the error?
Thanks for your help! :)
