  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.

  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.

  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

I downloaded the ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso from Ubuntu's main
website around a month ago and it has this bug. I tried to install
Chrome using the GUI and it failed, but using dpkg was fine.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1573408 ***

I found that SOME repositories don't have the package files for Gnome
updates, but some others do. So for me the same symptoms occurred with
Gnome updates.

Changing my local repository to another one fixed the problem for me. In
my case adding deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates
main solved the problem.

Here's a list of mirrors I think work at least with gnome updates:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/all/gnome-software-

  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

  Gdebi, however, installs the packages as expected.

Hi Jeremy:

In the meanwhile I've installed the previous Ubuntu Software Center that
works ok and have a more clear design.

Very thanks for answering! If I use this Software Center again, I'll
report any problem following the steps you described.

Fernando, it is a normal update now. It was only a proposed update for a
few days so it could be tested first to make sure it fixed bugs and
didn't make things worse. The fix is also included in Ubuntu 16.04.1.

If it's still not working, please run ubuntu-bug gnome-software to
report a new bug.

You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you could provide a complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the 
problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

@Peter please file a new bug about your issue since this particular bug
is fixed, especially with a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04. Please
include specifics since there isn't enough information in your comment
here for developers to know what exactly isn't working.

You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the 
problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1573206] Re: GNOME Software does not install third-party .deb packages

[Peter]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1573408 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573408

Please fix this bug!!! This has not been fixed despite what has been
claimed. I have done a clean install of both 16.04 and 16.04.1 and the
bug persists. Come on guys, this is a LTS release, and this should be
addressed. Work-arounds is not a solution for faulty software.

It looks to me that when you try to install some package from the
Software Centre, it starts the install then hangs. I believe this is
because a dialog box should appear asking for admin credentials to
install the software, but since that dialog box does not appear it just
sits there waiting.

My set up is a Dell Precision M4500 (but this isn't a hardware issue -
it is most definitely a software problem). My installation is a fully
encrypted hard drive with encrypted home directory if that makes a
difference.

Please mark this bug as not fixed.

It's not fixed as of 2016-05-24 08:50 edt. Installs sometimes happen but
no indicator that the package is installed, just the same "Install"
button shows. Further, "Important OS updates" does nothing for hours. I
wind up using Synaptic to mark and upgrade the system. Synaptic is
installed as Software doesn't display all available packages.

I appreciate the efforts for all involved in the Ubuntu project.

  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.

It's out. I purged all the packages I had installed with dpkg -i and tested
by installing 64 bit chrome about 20 minutes ago.

  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.

All we are interested in, is that has the bug been fixed or not? Giving
these temporary fixes won't solve the issue. I have been suffering from
the day i upgraded to  ubuntu 16.04, regretting it now.

I was convinced this was a bug on the 3rd-party files I tried to install 
because I REFUSED TO BELIEVE an LTS release of Ubuntu would get this far with 
such bug, this is unacceptable. This is so sad.
I will consider this a "jump ship right NOW" warning, so I'll take it.

You'll have to log out then log in after updating to the version in
xenial-proposed because gnome-software has a process that runs in the
background, or end the process manually without logging out.

I had this as well for Google Chrome and a workaround seems to be:

 open terminal and use dpkg -i .deb followed by sudo apt-
get -f install which brought in the dependent packages needed for Chrome
to install.

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.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1573206] Re: GNOME Software does not install third-party .deb packages

[Olivier Dony (Odoo)]

Corrected link to the upstream patch from comment #29: 
   
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/?id=a98db57a724ea4433b03e9101964c1b594fa89e5

It's actually hard to tell that it's the right patch, as it has no
comment, no link to the bug, no explanation. Not sure what the policy is
at Canonical/Gnome about documenting bugfixes...
