Unable to complete authentication login to UbuntuOne through SoftwareCenter

[Tom Filipcic]

Seems to duplicate a bug from 2016 which was patched 3.20.1+git20161013.0.d77d6cf-0ubuntu2~xenial1

Process to error. Installed Skype using SC. Failed to authenticate so removed and re-installed from terminal. Same error (Skype terminal won't open) so attempted to remove using SC and authentication errored again. Able to login in terminal nd remove the software. However, still unable to authenticate to UbuntuOne through the SC.

Ubuntu release 16.04 LTS
Core 16-2.34.3 rev 5145 Stable
Skype 8.28.0.41 Rev 51 Stable

To uninstall (or install) Skype though SC.
On install / uninstall the SC requests login to UbuntuOne but reports an error (credentials confirmed separately). Neede to complete actions in terminal.

Sounds like the UbuntuOne authentication dialog should never be shown in the first place, see bug #1721735. I'm marking this as a duplicate.
