Title:
Ubuntu software gives no message of unresolved dependencies
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Ubuntu Software seems to give no message to user when installation of
a .deb fails because of unresolved dependencies (in Yakketty daily as
of 02 Sep 16).
I tried to install several third-party .deb packages. While installing
Google Chrome from the official site worked, installing Mega (from
https://mega.nz/#sync ) or VPNUnlimited (from
https://www.vpnunlimitedapp.com/en/downloads/linux ) seemed to revert
the GUI back to "Install" button and the apps were not installed.
Further, an attempted Gdebi install from terminal gave error of unresolved
dependencies which Ubuntu Software did not report:
Mega:

and VPNUnlimited:

Dependency is not satisfiable: libjsoncpp0 (>= 0.6.0~rc2)
