An Error Has Occurred: Downloading and installing Keynote

Question

Update: Looks like the installer is looking for a previous version of Keynote to upgrade, from appstore.log:

storeagent[473] <Critical>: SoftwareMap: No app was found with bundle ID com.apple.iWork.Keynote to upgrade to 6.2

First question here.

I purchased Keynote last night and switched to the Purchases tab to watch the download begin (0K of about 434MB). Immediately the progress bar changed to the Installed button but I saw (via Little Snitch) that bandwidth was still being consumed by storeagent.

Later, storeagent stopped consuming bandwidth and App Store said Could Not Download Keynote: An Error Has Occurred. In Applications I saw Keynote with its own progress bar empty.

I've tried emptying the ~/Library/Cache for storeagent, signing in and out of the App Store, restarting the Mac (OS X Mavericks) to no avail.

Any ideas?

Here are the most relevant entries from Console:

Answer 1

Here's what worked for me, sign out of App store, quit it. In the Terminal run:

defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true

Start App Store, in the Debug menu, choose Reset App, sign in again, then choose Start Scan for Updates. Tried Keynote again and it worked.
