Public bug reported:
When I attempted to install "IDEA Community," gnome-software gave me an
error saying "Unable to install 'IDEA Community': forbidden," and then
less than a second later, I was prompted for my password, and upon
entering it in, the installation started without issue.
The problem is that the error occurred even though the download and
installation happened successfully WITHOUT my having to click on the
"install" button again, so this is a false error.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch GNOME Software Center
2. Click on IDEA Community
3. Click on the Install button
4. Notice that a "forbidden" error is raised and then you are prompted for a
password. Enter the password and find that the installation proceeds without
issue.
Expected Results:
Installation begins without any "Unable to install" messages
Actual Results:
"forbidden" error appears even though an authentication window appeared, and
entering the password correctly initiated the download and installation.
