All affected, apologies for the confusion but a fixed has landed
upstream and has not yet landed yet in Ubuntu. The new upstream version
will need to be packaged first before distributed to the main release
pocket. If you need to install a package, please refer to comment #6 for
the mean time.

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (clean install). 64-bit. Final release.
  Gnome-software version: 3.20.1+git20160420.1.ca63436.ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 3.20.1+git20160420.1.ca63436.ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu2 500
          500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  
  I intended to install MEGA Sync Client, Google Chrome and Dropbox by downloading the needed packages from their websites (respectively https://mega.nz/#sync and https://www.google.com/chrome/ and https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx ). I opened the packages one by one with gnome-software and pressed Install - nothing, except for a super-quick progress bar animation, happened. No matter how many times I tried, same result. Also, an icon pops up on the panel saying "Waiting to install", but nothing seems to happen.

  This only seems to happen with third-party packages; installing a
  random deb from packages.ubuntu.com/xenial worked.

  I even tried to reinstall the system to make this work, but same
  problem.

  Gdebi, however, installs the packages as expected.
