When I tested it today, staging.launchpad.net was down, so I couldn't
repeat the same scenario. But last week I purchased an item without
letting its installation complete, so today I tested what happens when I
try to purchase it again.

bit of a mess.

This is fixed now.

Fixed in a slightly crude fashion, by removing the button entirely. :-)

0:20 "Buy" should be "Buy…" (as long as we don't have one-click
     purchasing). <http://launchpad.net/bugs/622708>

That isn't important as long as we're going to replace the Launchpad
Login Service with Ubuntu SSO.

- From this point, in the new screencast:

0:48 A PolicyKit alert appears from aptdaemon, with no primary text.

1:01 "Purchase of Hello X Adventure in progress" appears too quickly to
     read.

1:03 "Installing purchased…" [sic] appears.
     <http://launchpad.net/bugs/622750>

1:09 Ubuntu Software Center says it wants to "install a local package
     file". This shouldn't be happening.

1:21 Aptdaemon says "An unhandled error occured" [sic].

1:35 USC continues saying "Installing purchased…", but nothing is
     happening, and the "Buy" button has returned.

1:43 Clicking the "Buy" button again does nothing, except make the
     button insensitive. The item was not successfully installed.
