Bug description:
  Impact
  installing local debs from nautilus doesn't work

  Test case
  download a deb and double click on it nautilus

  Regression potential
  the changes are restoring a feature that was working, should regression other parts of the code

  -----------------

  Unlike previous versions of Ubuntu Unity, I'm unable to install the google-talk-plugin in Ubuntu 16.04, where it (the deb) can be downloaded here:
  https://www.google.com/tools/dlpage/hangoutplugin

  After downloading, I open the deb file from Firefox and it launches
  the gnome-software package (used in Unity now).

  The first time I click the install button in gnome-software, I notice
  a strange repositioning of the layout, but nothing else happens.

  Clicking the install button a second time puts a question-mark-progress-launcher onto the launcher (task) bar, but it never progresses:

  So far, no one has offered a workaround:
