** Description changed:
I 'purchased' Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances from the software
center. The package failed to install. It's now unclear what I'm
supposed to do to get my purchase onto my system. The software center
app has a status indicator that says "Installing...", but that seems
incorrect (download failed). There is a "Buy..." button, do I have to
buy my purchase again? If I'd paid money for this app I'd be annoyed
that I have to buy it again - I certainly wouldn't want to be charged
twice. I expected to see a "please try again" button or something
similar, but if it exists I can't find it.
