Click on that file from within FireFox, and it opens Gnome Software

Curious.
I'm not expecting these to be user installed but rather system
installed.
As am I:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.software install-bundles-system-wide
true
Back in Gnome Software, click on the Install button and it does
nothing, no error message.
Okay, so lets work out what's going wrong. What I suspect is happening
is that we're "falling back" to the per-user install because there's
something wrong lower in the stack, e.g. your user could not
authenticate or something to do with polkit. For both issues, if you
can get a full log of:
killall gnome-software
gnome-software --verbose
..then we can figure out what's going on. Thanks.
