Cause is due to there being multiple debconf connections when gconf-
common is configured (all of which close without any content being
sent). The gnome-software debconf code only handled the first
connection.

= Original Report =
I received this error when trying to install local file
google-chrome-stable.deb version 58.0.3029.96-1.
This is using gnome-software 3.22.7-0ubuntu3.17.04.2 from zesty-proposed.
Other times, the installation process just hangs at some percentage. I am
testing this gnome-software version due to Bug (LP: #1672424).
The same file was successfully installed with gdebi.
