As in summary.

Reproducible: Always

I cannot reproduce this on 4.10 master.
Could you try again using 4.10 beta2 or master if possible?

I assume the steps are as below:
- open comic widget setting dialog
- click 'get new comic' button
- install one and close the GHNS dialog
- new comic then listed in comic list

I have the same situation in KDE 4.11.1 on openSUSE 12.3 now. Seems like there's a problem with the provider installation command, more exactly plasmapkg doesn't upgrade the plasmoid plugin if it isn't installed first. 

From /usr/share/kde4/config/comic.knsrc:

InstallationCommand=plasmapkg -t comic -u %f

When trying to add a new comic to the plasmoid I hit install on the Get Hot New Stuff dialog, but I get this message:

Plugin LeastICouldDo is not installed.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
plasmoidviewer(8265)/knewstuff (api): Command failed

for whatever comic plugin I select from the GHNS dialog.

So the chosen comic plugin doesn't appear in the Installed Comics list.

If I manually install a plugin with plasmapkg -t comic -i path/plugin-name.comic it works as expected.

deiu@deiu:/usr/share/kde4/config> plasmapkg -t comic -i ~/Downloads/152976-mcninja.comic 
Successfully installed /home/deiu/Downloads/152976-mcninja.comic

Are this one and 325028 dupes?

Seems like they're dupes. More specifically this seems to be the problem that I both confirm with the install failing or a new comic. See comment #1 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325028#c1. The install command fails.
