Bug Description

Using 3.25.4 from artful proposed
- select a deb package (e.g gnome-dictionary)
- click on install
- interrupt the install before it's finish by clicking on the corresponding button

-> the system is let in a state when apt refuses to work until "dpkg --configure -a" is used

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-software - 3.25.91-1ubuntu1

---------------
gnome-software (3.25.91-1ubuntu1) artful; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian, remaining changes:
    + debian/patches/*.patch: Various Ubuntu changes from wip/ubuntu-master
    branch - see patch headers for more information.
    + Add an "ubuntu-software" package with some branding for Ubuntu.
    + debian/control{,.in}, debian/rules, debian/gnome-software-plugin-snap.*:
      Enable the Snap plugin and build it into a gnome-software-plugin-snap
      binary package
    + debian/gnome-software.gsettings-override.in: Mark universe packages as
      Free.
    + debian/rules: Strip -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions from LDFLAGS so that
      plugins can be loaded properly.
    + debian/source_gnome-software.py: Add an Apport hook to report which
      plugins are installed.
  * GNOME Software provides the PackageKit session interface. Sessioninstaller
    wants to do that too - Conflict with it to get it off user systems.

gnome-software (3.25.91-1) experimental; urgency=medium

  * debian/compat: Bump to 10, mainly to get --parallel by default.
  * New upstream release 3.25.91 (LP: #1706715)
    + Doesn't let you cancel PackageKit (.deb) installations when PK says it's
      not allowed. (LP: #1707053)
