Hello Robert, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-software into xenial-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
software/3.20.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.8 in a few hours, and then in the
-proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

  Classic confined snaps don't install

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Apps that use classic confinement show up in search results but don't install.

  [Test Case]
  1. Open GNOME Software
  2. Search for a classic snap, e.g. "atom"
  3. Install snap

  Expected result:
  Either:
  a) Snap is installed
  b) Snap is not installed and error given
  c) Snap is installed but user needs to provide some sort of confirmation since it is not confined.

  Observed result:
  Snap is not installed, no error given.

  [Regression Potential]
  Patch changes the code path used to request installation of all snap packages.  Ensure that strict confined snaps continue to be installed with correct confinement.

  For example, try installing "ohmygiraffe" via gnome-software, then run
  "snap info ohmygiraffe" from a terminal.  The "installed:" line should
  not include the word "classic".
