While we try to fix all bugs before release, that is not always possible
and this bug was mentioned in the Ubuntu 17.04 Release Notes [1]. If you
do not install the update to fix this bug and restart your computer,
then you will still be affected by this bug.

Therefore, I am closing this bug since it's already been fixed. If it
still does not work after installing all updates and restarting your
computer, please file a new bug with details of what is not working.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help make Ubuntu
better.

Sam Korson who also got this bug said (
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
software/+bug/1672424/comments/56 ):

'my issue seems to have been resolved now either way; I just noticed
that there were some "system updates" available from inside Software and
I installed those and rebooted. I can now install .deb files without
problems. Great!'

But most users don't go to that part of Ubuntu Software regularly? Why
do these need to be installed? I don't understand why there's two
different graphical update mangers in the first place...

I copied the layout from bug 1672424 but edited it accordingly. Also, it
doesn't happen now, but at first when trying to install an app by
launching gnome-software by loading the Deb graphically (e.g. clicking
on it in Firefox's download list), I was able to click the Install
button in Ubuntu Software (gnome-software; the 'Sorry, this does not
work' popup didn't load in this case), but aside from pressing inwards
like you'd expect a button to appear when you click on it, there was no
graphical response and the app didn't install. Now I just get the popup
appear when launching Ubuntu Software graphically from a Deb too.

I haven't installed the update there to see if that resolves this issue
because I'm not sure people should be running into this in the first
place?
