Here's how to reproduce: 1.) Buy Humble Indie Bundle 6 2.) ssh -X -C nearby.computer.lan 3.) search for "bit runner" 4.) choose BIT.TRIP RUNNER 5.) click on "buy" ($ 9.99, but you won't get charged, because you bought Humble Indie Bundle 6) 6.) login to Ubuntu SSO -- something's missing here, I'll explain it later, let's just say "step 6.5 is missing" -- 7.) 1st problem (minor): BIT.TRIP RUNNER still displays the "Buy..." button (instead of install) 8.) click on "More Info" 9.) Now you can click on the "Install" button 10.) 2nd problem (major): nothing happens Comparing this process to a local install, there's one thing missing - that's what I mean with step 6.5. A local install asks me for root privileges after the single sign on (step 6). So Software-Center can't get root privileges and that's why it cannot install the package. I attached the errors in STDOUT beginning with step 7.
