Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-app-install

When trying to install either of the two (new) programs from gnome-app-install on my AMD64 Fiesty machine i get the following behavior:
1) prompt for installation from fiesty-commercial
2) click install
3) downloading occurs
4) prompt is shown again

This basically goes in circles until you click cancel at the prompt.
Then a message pops up: "Opera cannot be installed on your computer type (amd64)".
The message appears once for every time you clicked install.

It looks like:
X-AppInstall-Architecture=i386

(or
X-AppInstall-Architecture=i386,amd64
if the package is availalbe for a subset of the architectures)

is missing in the new desktop data files. This indicates that the packages are only available on i386. I subscribed Fabbione (the new master for the commercial repository).

Thanks,

Can this package be signed? As an automatic update in Ubuntu, it's a bit disconcerting to be asked to install software with a warning that it may be malicious code.
