Public bug reported: In the list of steps at help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/addremove- install.html it doesn't mention the fact that you are required to have an Ubuntu One account, nor that you have to enter your email address and password for that service.
It also doesn't address what happens when that fails. In my case I created the required account (even though I will NEVER!!! install software I have to pay for) and then immediately tried to install some new software. That failed with an error saying wrong password. Even after properly activating the account and waiting overnight it is still failing to recognize my password.
