Bug Description
Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.3
gnome-software 3.20.5-
Impact
------
Not being able to install 3rd party deb's is a very serious regression.
Test Case
---------
Visit https:/
Open with "Software Install"
The Ubuntu/GNOME Software app should start and show you a basic page about Google Chrome
Click Install.
Google Chrome should install itself
What Happens
------------
The Install page does show up.
After clicking the Install button, the button changes to Installing for a few seconds and then changes back to Install.
Google Chrome is not installed.
There is no PolicyKit authentication prompt to install software.
When I run gnome-software --verbose, Progress says 9% which I think is when it would ask for authentication.
Regression Potential
-------
This fixes a High Impact bug.
And the fix is minimal:
