[Bug 1449798] [NEW] Cannot update or install apps

 

Public bug reported:

Roughly a week ago , System Settings > Updates showed that updates were
available for Document Viewer and for Beru.  I tried to update them,
repeatedly, individually and together.  The download would progress to
100% and the "installing" message would appear, but the apps would not
disappear from the "updates" list, and would still be there after I
checked for updates again.

Today I uninstalled Document Viewer and tried to reinstall it from the Ubuntu Store.  I found it in the store, and pressed "Install".  The progress bar quickly advances to 100%, but then the Store shows me a screen displaying
    Download Error
    Download or install failed.  Please try again.
        [ Close ]

The same is true for Beru.

I also tried installing Podbird, which I have not previously installed.
The same error occurs.
