It used to work with Ubuntu 16.04, but after updating to 16.04.3 and the latest software updates (with the newest version of gnome-software) the issue has re-appeared again. I can't install any .deb packages anymore. I was able to replicate this issue on 2 clean VMs, so it's not just my computer.
After looking into the release history for gnome-software, I found that the issue might have re-appeared after re-basing gnome-software from version 3.20.1 to the upstream 3.20.5. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573408 Title: GNOME Software does not install third-party .deb packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-software/+bug/1573408/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
