Confirm this passes on zesty
In addition to the requested test cases, I also tested my original use
case,
* download a .deb pkg for software not included in ubuntu release - GitKraken
v2.5.0 in this case (v.2.5.0.deb)
* open up Home/Desktop folder in Gnome file manager GUI
* double-click on a non-ubuntu .deb package
* once Software app opens up, click on Install button
* Installation proceeded correctly as expected
* Prior to this bug fix, clicking on Install resulted in no behavior at all
