** Description changed: Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.3 gnome-software 3.20.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.5 Impact ------ + This is a really bad regression. Test Case --------- Visit https://www.google.com/chrome/ in Firefox and download Chrome. Open with "Software Install" The Ubuntu/GNOME Software app should start and show you a basic page about Google Chrome Click Install. Google Chrome should install itself What Happens ------------ The Install page does show up. After clicking the Install button, the button changes to Installing for a few seconds and then changes back to Install. Google Chrome is not installed. There is no PolicyKit authentication prompt to install software. When I run gnome-software --verbose, Progress says 9% which I think is when it would ask for authentication. + Regression Potential + -------------------- + This fixes a High Impact bug. + And the fix is minimal: + https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-software/ubuntu-xenial/revision/41 + Other Info ---------- I am setting the importance of this bug to critical according to #7 of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure
