Hi, this has been fixed upstream. If you still have issues, please fully
update with:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
and check again. If it isn't working, please restart. Finally, if you're
fully up to date (check again after the restart) please post back here,
and we will look into it. Your Ubuntu distro would be helpful info too.

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
500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
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.
