This seems to affect a fair amount of users who were hit by Bug #1008289. After reprocessing the subscriptions on the server, they still get the same error because of the old auth.conf data.
One guy figured out that the purchases are installable again after removing dupes from /etc/apt/auth.conf, and now I'm instructing other users to do the same.
