Public bug reported: Yesterday I purchased BIT.TRIP RUNNER and I ran into several UX problems and bugs:
1) Credit card payment did not work with a mysterious error such as "3DAUTH failed", so I had to pay with PayPal 2) Once the purchase was done, it wasn't at all obvious what the next step was supposed to be. The next day, I figured out that the "Buy" button in the Software Center had now turned into "Install". 3) After a long long time waiting for the apt indexes to update with almost no UI feedback, I got this message: Failed to download repository information Check your Internet connection.
