Thanks for reporting this error, and we're sorry we didn't get to it earlier.

The code has changed a lot since your report, and many people have successfully purchased Fluendo DVD Player and other software. So it's quite likely this problem has been fixed. If you still do experience the problem, please reopen this report and we'll investigate further. Thanks for your understanding.

Thank you for your reply, I had forgotten about this bug. I have since been successful at purchasing though the software center so it must have been fixed. :)
