Title:
gnome-software on Ubuntu 17.04 distro wont install downloaded apps
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Downloaded gitkraken from https://www.gitkraken.com/download
Downlaod file was saved in my user ~/Downloads folder is gitkraken-amd64.deb
Clicked on file in Downloads folder and it opens `Ubuntu Software` app and
offers an `Install` button
Click Install button and nothing happens. The button goes through the
click-state changes visually but the app is not installed
To install the app I have to open a terminal and run
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downlaods/gitkraken-amd64.deb
sudp apt install -y -f
In the GUI app, I am not prompted to elevate, no error is given and no
action results from clicking on the button.
This is a clean, fresh install of 17.04 from 4/12/2017 (disk
repartitioned by defaults and OS installed fresh on the clean disk)
Repro'd same behavior with Google Chrome .deb file - had to install it
manually.
