you can re-download Ovi apps from the webstore.

yes...the problem is that after clean installing a couple of times from a backup, OVI only lets you download so many times before they have to send you a special link after waiting for a week to get it.

Install aptitude and try 'aptitude install packagename'. It works for demos, never tested for paid.

Ceroberts you tried this and when you looked in /var/tmp nothing is there?

Have you looked in here also?

Your clean-after-install should look like this.

Just for the record.
Downloaded ovi apps (i tried to pull a deb of a free one) are stored in /home/user/MyDocs/.apt-archive-cache.
Now it looks some apllications are deleted from there straight after install so you may only have time to copy them during installation.

If you want to check yourself do lsof -p <pid of dpkg process> when installing, and you'll see a list of files the process is currently using.
