I downloaded the ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso from Ubuntu's main
website around a month ago and it has this bug. I tried to install
Chrome using the GUI and it failed, but using dpkg was fine.

Bug description:
  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.

Bug description:
  Impact
  installing local debs from nautilus doesn't work

  Test case
  download a deb and double click on it nautilus

  Regression potential
  the changes are restoring a feature that was working, should regression other 
parts of the code

  -

  Unlike previous versions of Ubuntu Unity, I'm unable to install the 
google-talk-plugin in Ubuntu 16.04, where it (the deb) can be downloaded here:
  https://www.google.com/tools/dlpage/hangoutplugin

  After downloading, I open the deb file from Firefox and it launches
  the gnome-software package (used in Unity now).

  The first time I click the install button in gnome-software, I notice
  a strange repositioning of the layout, but nothing else happens.

  Clicking the install button a second time puts a 
question-mark-progress-launcher onto the launcher (task) bar, but it never 
progresses:

  So far, no one has offered a workaround:
