Title:
GNOME Software 3.20.5 doesn't install 3rd party deb's, doesn't prompt
for authentication
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gnome-software source package in Xenial:

Bug description:
Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.3
gnome-software 3.20.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.5
Impact
------
Test Case
---------
Visit https://www.google.com/chrome/ in Firefox and download Chrome.
Open with "Software Install"
The Ubuntu/GNOME Software app should start and show you a basic page about
Google Chrome
Click Install.
Google Chrome should install itself
What Happens
------------
The Install page does show up.
After clicking the Install button, the button changes to Installing for a few
seconds and then changes back to Install.
Google Chrome is not installed.
There is no PolicyKit authentication prompt to install software.
When I run gnome-software --verbose, Progress says 9% which I think is when
it would ask for authentication.
Other Info
