Bug Description

Bug #1573206 is persisting in 16.04.1. Clean installation of 16.04.1 downloaded from Ubuntu website. Attempted to install Chrome using the .deb downloaded from their website. Software Center doesn't install, begins to hang just as it did before it was marked as fixed. Fix was supposed to be rolled into the point one ISO per comments in that tracker, but I am still experiencing it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Looking at bug 1573408, this should be fixed in 3.20.1+git20160426.1.a976144-ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu1, but it looks like there's been another update release since then. So if it has stopped working again, this might be a regression. Could you check which version of gnome-software you have installed?

Please execute the following command only once, as it will automatically gather the version number and additional debugging information, in a terminal:
 apport-collect BUGNUMBER

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.
