I found a plot twist: the package doesn't install if in the same path as user.

So:
# both user and package are in ~/Downloads. Don't work
marcos@marcos-laptop:~/Downloads$ gnome-software --local-filename=google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

# user is in one directory and package are in a subdirectory. Works
marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ gnome-software --local-filename=Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

# same as before, but indicating the full path using til. Don't work
marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ gnome-software --local-filename=~/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

# same as before, but indicating the full path normally. Works
marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ gnome-software --local-filename=/home/marcos/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

# different paths, but indicating the relative path using two dots. Don't work
marcos@marcos-laptop:~/Downloads$ gnome-software --local-filename=../google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

# same path, but indicating the relative path using one dot. Works
marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ gnome-software --local-filename=./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

May be you could understand I can't understand. :)
