Possibly same bug:
Upgraded from 14.04LTS to 16.04LTS. Had to remove ROS and disable third-
party repositories.
After the upgrade, the Ubuntu Software application showed the third-
party repositories as disabled. Re-enabled them.
The Ubuntu Software store would not show ROS or KiCAD from third party
repositories, although it would show "Kicad Snap" from Canonical's
store. The repositories used are
http://ppa.launchpad.net/js-reynaud/kicad-4/ubuntu
http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu
They repositories are validly added; doing
sudo apt install kicad
installed KiCAD OK. So it's just the GUI program that's broken. It just shows
Canonical stuff.
Even with kicad installed and working, it doesn't show up in the Installed tab.
(Or is there now some secret hidden checkbox or option you have to enable for
third-party
packages to work right?)

installing local debs from nautilus doesn't work
Test case

Regression potential

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:
