Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I believe this is due to bug 1817285 not being completed.

Thanks for the speedy reply and referral to the uncompleted bug report. I forgot about xenial-proposed (which I tend not to enable on LTS). After downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xdg-desktop-portal/xdg-desktop-portal_0.11-1_amd64.deb and manually editing dependencies to include xenial's dbus-x11 (default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus | dbus-x11) I succesfully installed xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.

The issue should be resolved now, could you try again?

Confirming xdg-desktop-portal 1.0.3-0ubuntu0.0 fixes this issue and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk is working as expected. Thanks to all involved!
