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!

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

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.
