Bug Description
I found a simple workflow that leads to confusion and frustration for users purchasing software for Ubuntu:
1) purchase the humble indie bundle from http://
2) Pay online with one of the supported methods
3) you get an email with a link which contains a key and takes you to the download page on humblebundle.com.
4) click on the big "Download for Ubuntu" button to get to http://
5) Now click on any of the games and allow Software Center to handle the apt:// url.
6) Software Center displays the correct product, but it offers you to buy the game once again :-(
As a work-around, I clicked on a troubleshooting link in a second email I received from @canonical.com, which took me to a page with the details of the password-protected PPA. I manually added the PPA to my system, so I could finally download the package.
Thank you so much for including stept to reproduce.
