I confirm that I could not duplicate this bug in Ubuntu 16.10 (Unity) or Ubuntu GNOME 16.10. (I thought sessioninstaller didn't work with Ubuntu GNOME 16.10, hmm…)

We can use GNOME Software instead of sessioninstaller, but here's what we have to do:

1. Uninstall sessioninstaller then install gstreamer1.0-packagekit.
(gstreamer1.0-packagekit is in universe but it's from the packagekit source so I don't think it will be a problem to promote it to main)

2. GNOME Software has to be built with the PackageKit backend (LP: #1643134)

I confirmed that this works for installing a mp3 codec.
