@Peter please file a new bug about your issue since this particular bug
is fixed, especially with a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04. Please
include specifics since there isn't enough information in your comment
here for developers to know what exactly isn't working.

You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

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.
