[Jeremy Bicha]

One problem is that the 3.20.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.6 update got stuck in
phased-updates. Also, the similar bug for Ubuntu 17.04 has *never* been
fixed for all users because of phased-updates.

[Will Cooke]

I tested this on the version of Software in proposed
(3.20.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.6) and it's working there.

So it seems that the fix is already in proposed and should roll out as
an update soon.

If you are still getting this issue can you please open a new bug with
the version of gnome-software you have installed. Since there's been a
number of releases it's getting confusing as to what version people are
having issues with.

[AgRoot]

Any ETA on the fix (again) for 16.04? Not only once, but twice, the
primary GUI tool to install packages on a LTS release is failing. Things
like this don't help in making Linux more appealing to end users.

[John Steeves]

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.

[Bug 1672424] Re: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories

[Jeremy]

I too have this issue with third-party .deb files. I have just installed
16.04 in UEFI with / and /home on their own partitions.

When I booted, I updated my box and was able to install Slack using the 
Software Center. After that, I went to install Chrome and it wouldn't work. 
Now, no third-party .deb files will install through the software center. I am 
able to install any default package from the Ubuntu Software Center but I am 
not able to install any .deb files unless I manually install them using: 
`sudo dpkg -i PATH_TO_DEB_FILE.deb`

I have fully updated my system after a fresh install. I ran:

```
sudo apt update

For what it's worth, I also had to install this update through the
"Updates" tab of Software Center. This was one of several updates there
that did not appear in the Software Updater. I didn't try `sudo apt
update ; sudo apt upgrade`, so I cannot confirm if I had the same
problem as Ads2.

My apologies, there was a conflict preventing updates from working and
that's why I didn't get the update via Software Updater (filed as bug
1693488 but I don't know how reproducible it is or if it was caused by
PPAs). Sorry for taking up your time!

I don't understand why updates have to be manually installed from Ubuntu
Software though (and, in this case, it does have to be installed from
there), most people expect updates to be installed via the Software
Updater? Is there any documentation on this situation where people
should update via two separate GUIs?

I don't see how we can prevent people from running into this bug if they
do not install available updates that fix bugs. Some updates like this
one also require restarting the computer (or at least the background
service).

Jeremy I've filed a bug as requested at bug 1693463. Maybe you could
clarify there what's happening in Sam's case, should users be expected
to go to the Updates bit of Ubuntu Software to fix this when people
expect Software Update to automatically deal with system updates? Is
there a way we can prevent users from running into this bug in the first
place?

[Bug 1672424] Re: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories

[Sam Korson]

Hello,

I still cannot install .deb packages in Software under Ubuntu 17.04,
even after enabling zesty-proposed and updating and restarting my
computer this morning.  I also tried installing gconf2 as suggested by
other posts in this topic.  I tested trying to install the .deb package
opera-stable (opera-stable_44.0.2510.1449_amd64.deb downloaded from
their site).  The install button reacts to me clicking it but nothing
else happens, no longer how long I wait (waited at least 15 minutes).  I
also tried the instructions in post #8 saying to invoke gnome-software
from the command line using an absolute path for the file:  gnome-
software --local-filename=/home/sam/Downloads/opera-
stable_44.0.2510.1449_amd64.deb.  Please advise me as to what else I
should try.  Also, this is on a fresh install of Ubuntu; the only thing
I did before trying to install this package is configure my system
settings the way I wanted everything.

Thanks,
Sam

Trying to install steam right now, opening the deb package with double-
click or with the command gnome-software --local-
filename=steam_latest.deb opens gnome software, but "install" button
does not work.

Proposed activated and software up to date.

[Bug 1672424] Re: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories

[Jorge Morais]

@CrazySky
The Ubuntu developers added the potential fix to "proposed" (which is not 
enabled by default in Ubuntu) so that testers could opt in to get and test it.  
When the developers are satisfied that the fix has had enough testing, and has 
passed the tests, then they will add the fix to some other repository 
("updates" I think) which is enabled by default.

@CrazySky - have you enabled the Proposed repository?
See:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed


Once you have done that and installed the updated version of GNOME
Software then you should be able to install .debs as described above. I
have confirmed this is fixed on Zesty, so if you're still having
problems please report back.

Hello, testing gnome-software 3.22.7-0ubuntu3.17.04.2 from zesty-proposed, I 
tried to install google-chrome-stable.deb version 58.0.3029.96-1 and I could 
not install it.
Please take a look at bug (LP: #1688721).

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

My apologizes,

gnome-software 3.22.7

Downloaded Opera from their site. Installed deb package directly from
firefox using "Open" instead of "Save" in download options. Gnome-
Software opened and installed the application correctly

Installed Discord canary's deb file from  ~/Downloads via Nautilus. This
also installed as expected.

Neither scenario worked with earlier versions of gnome-software.

now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
software/3.20.1+git20170427.0.3d09239-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then
in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at

advance!

Aere, yes, unless you have gnome-software 3.22.7-0ubuntu3.17.04.1 or

[Bug 1672424] Re: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories

[Jeremy Bicha]

I successfully completed both tests cases on Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 with
gnome-software 3.22.7-0ubuntu3.17.04.1. I downloaded the current 17.04
version of gnome-clocks and I downloaded itch and I installed them both
with gnome-software (after making sure gnome-software was stopped after
updating it).

[Bug 1672424] Re: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories

[Jeremy Bicha]

** Description changed:

  Impact
  --
  It is not possible to use the default Software app to install .debs for 
packages that are not already available in Ubuntu.
  
  Test Case
  -
  1.
  a. Download the .deb for a simple app for your version of Ubuntu directly 
from Launchpad.
  For 16.10, try 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-clocks/3.22.1-0ubuntu1/
  Click amd64 then download the last .deb on that page.
  
  b. Open the .deb with gnome-software:
  gnome-software --local-filename=gnome-clocks_3.22.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
  
  gnome-software should open to a page with an Install button for the
  package.
  
  This test case should already work.
  
  2.
  a. Download a .deb that is not already in Ubuntu.
  It is important that the package not be available in your local apt cache.
- For this, I made sure that I was not using the GNOME3 Staging PPA. As of 
today, switcheroo-control is not accepted into Ubuntu 17.04.
- 
- So I downloaded
- https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3-staging/+files
- /switcheroo-control_1.1-0ubuntu0~zesty1_amd64.deb
- 
- b. Open the .deb with gnome-software
- gnome-software 
--local-filename=switcheroo-control_1.1-0ubuntu0~zesty1_amd64.deb
- 
- I only suggested using switcheroo-control because I know it's not because the 
package isn't packaged correctly. Alternatively, this test case should also 
work with one of these:
  https://www.google.com/chrome/
  https://itch.io/app
  
+ b. Open the .deb with gnome-software
+ gnome-software --local-filename=itch_23.2.1_amd64.deb
+ 
  gnome-software should open to a page with an Install button for the
  package.
+ 
+ Click Install and verify that the app is installed.
  
  What Happens
  
  The second test fails. On Ubuntu 17.04, I get a popup
  "Sorry this did not work The file is not supported"
  
  On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or 16.10, I get "Sorry this did not work No
  file_to_app results to show"
  
  Regression Potential
  
  
  Original Bug Report
  ---
  .deb files fail to install from non repository locations i.e. The file 
manager gnome-software claims "this file type is not supported".
  
  Using dpkg from the command line works as expected so the files aren't
  corrupt. This happened last distribution as well when it was first
  released. Might be a regression caused by adding snap package
  capabilities to the software-center?

[Brian Murray]

Hello Vague, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-software into zesty-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
software/3.22.7-0ubuntu3.17.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the
-proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in

[Bug 1672424] Re: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories

[Robert Ancell]

I didn't push the last change to master because I'm not sure of the
correct solution there. The apt plugin is not upstream, so it doesn't
make sense to set the management plugin to apt (should probably be
packagekit?). I don't really get the point of management plugin so I
need to ask Richard what to do here.

Robert, can you please check out wip/ubuntu-master when you've got time?
These commits should go there I assume? It's a bit behind master atm -
we should rev it again soon.

Do local .debs work properly with the packagekit-local plugin?

Found it - the .debs are loaded by GNOME Software but they are not
marked with a "management plugin". This cases the apt plugin to reject
them when installing (it only installs apps marked as owned by apt).

[Bug 1672424] Re: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories

[Robert Ancell]

The reason this is not working is the gnome-software you are running is
not the process that actually shows the package. You will already have
gnome-software running so it just passes the string to the existing
process. Since this process is probably running in your home directory
it doesn't work on non-absolute paths unless you happen to be in your
home dir.

[Bug 1672424] Re: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories

[Jesse]

I can confirm this issue is happening to me as well on Ubuntu GNOME
17.04 x64, under X or Wayland (I believe my machines have Ubuntu on
SSD's). Any .deb I click on to install will bring up the GNOME Software
window. When I click the "install" button, the button presses
down/reacts to the click, but it never proceeds with the install. This
is confirmed with multiple .deb packages on different machines.

Re: [Bug 1672424] Re: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories

[Vague Entertainment]

Thats good info! Could this be fixed in by changing how gnome-software is
invoked during local installs or would it need to be done within the
program itself? Its not uncommon for a software (especially one run with
root permissions) to need a full system path. It would also explain why the
"~/" doesn't work as it is a built in alias for /home/$username <---which
changes once the software starts.

[Bug 1672424] Re: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories

[Marcos Alano]

I found a plot twist: the package doesn't install if in the same path as
user.

So:
# both user and package are in ~/Downloads. Don't work
marcos@marcos-laptop:~/Downloads$ gnome-software 
--local-filename=google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

# user is in one directory and package are in a subdirectory. Works
marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ gnome-software 
--local-filename=Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

# same as before, but indicating the full path using til. Don't work
marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ gnome-software 
--local-filename=~/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

# same as before, but indicating the full path normally. Works
marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ gnome-software 
--local-filename=/home/marcos/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

# different paths, but indicating the relative path using two dots. Don't work
marcos@marcos-laptop:~/Downloads$ gnome-software 
--local-filename=../google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

# same path, but indicating the relative path using one dot. Works
marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ gnome-software 
--local-filename=./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

[Bug 1672424] Re: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories

[Robert Ancell]

I've tried this on Xenial, Yakkety (both QEMU VMs) and Zesty (running
directly on my laptop) and all are able to show the downloaded
switcheroo-control package. I talked with Jeremy on IRC and he could
reproduce, so not sure what's different between the machines..

[Jeremy Bicha]

For Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, this broke with

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/3.20.1+git20161013.0
.d77d6cf-0ubuntu2~xenial1

since the test cases pass with the previous version 3.20.1+git20160923.2
.7374bdc-0ubuntu1~xenial1

Setting Importance to Critical per Step 7 of the SRU Procedure.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure

I confirm that the test cases work with gnome-software
3.20.1+git20160426.1.a976144-ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
(That was the famous SRU that fixed this kind of problem shortly after
16.04 LTS's release.)

  It is not possible to use the default Software app to install .debs for 
packages that are not already available in Ubuntu.
  
  Test Case
  -
  1.
  a. Download the .deb for a simple app for your version of Ubuntu directly 
from Launchpad.
  For 16.10, try 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-clocks/3.22.1-0ubuntu1/
  Click amd64 then download the last .deb on that page.
  
  b. Open the .deb with gnome-software:
  gnome-software --local-filename=gnome-clocks_3.22.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
  
  gnome-software should open to a page with an Install button for the
  package.
  
  This test case should already work.

today, the retro-gtk source is not accepted into Ubuntu 17.04.

  What Happens
  
  The second test fails. On Ubuntu 17.04, I get a popup

  Original Bug Report
  ---
  .deb files fail to install from non repository locations i.e. The file 
manager gnome-software claims "this file type is not supported".
  
  Using dpkg from the command line works as expected so the files aren't
  corrupt. This happened last distribution as well when it was first
  released. Might be a regression caused by adding snap package
  capabilities to the software-center?
