Bug Description
After I click the "Buy" button, I see 2 operations eternally in progress. 1 is: "querying software sources" and 2 is "Installing [X]" but the throbber oscillates from left to right and back again - never processing.
I tried an apt-get update and the output was sketchy. See attached.

This still needs to be integrated in some way so that the user does not need to do their own plumbing.
