Hi Gary,

I removed the package from the apt cache before I tried to reinstall and
verified that software-center actually starts the download.

I tried with software-center several times and switched to a wired
network to rule out networking problems just to be sure but it always
failed. I also ran an apt-get update to refresh the package cache but
the "untrusted source" error remained. I found out  that the "Method
CreateItem failed" error came from the installation of GNOME3 from a ppa
and resulting incompatible packages for ubuntu single sign on which I
was able to fix by installing a patched "ubuntu-sso-client" package
however this did not fix the untrusted package source issue.

It looks to me like the issue was that somehow apt lost the signatures
of at least the ppa with the purchased software and somehow even an apt-
get update did not refresh that signature. Maybe even that ppa itself
was defective by the time I tried the installation as the  first run of
"apt-get install" had a package size missmatch - something I find rather
unusual.

Thanks again, 
/Arne
