Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (clean install). 64-bit. Final release.
Gnome-software version: 3.20.1+git20160420.1.ca63436.ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 3.20.1+git20160420.1.ca63436.ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu2 500

I intended to install MEGA Sync Client, Google Chrome and Dropbox by
downloading the needed packages from their websites (respectively
https://mega.nz/#sync and https://www.google.com/chrome/ and
https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx ). I opened the packages one by one with
gnome-software and pressed Install - nothing, except for a super-quick progress
bar animation, happened. No matter how many times I tried, same result. Also,
an icon pops up on the panel saying "Waiting to install", but nothing seems to
happen.
This only seems to happen with third-party packages; installing a random
deb from packages.ubuntu.com/xenial worked.
I even tried to reinstall the system to make this work, but same
problem.
Gdebi, however, installs the packages as expected.
