Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubufox

When visiting a website with a Java applet, but the Java plugin is not installed the user is presented with the "install missing plugins" dialog offering to install one of the available Java plugins. The user is then prompted for their sudo password by the package manager; if the user enters the wrong password, they are not asked to re-enter and installation of the package fails. Despite this, Ubufox reports back success and informs the user to restart Firefox for the new installation to take effect.

this should be fixed in hardy now. apturl returns and exit code > 0 and ubufox will interpret that as a "Apt Install Failed or Cancelled" error.
