[Bug 1573206] Re: GNOME Software does not install third-party .deb packages
Corrected link to the upstream patch from comment #29:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/?id=a98db57a724ea4433b03e9101964c1b594fa89e5
It's actually hard to tell that it's the right patch, as it has no
comment, no link to the bug, no explanation. Not sure what the policy is
at Canonical/Gnome about documenting bugfixes...

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

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.
