I've downloaded a Sublime Editor .deb package, and when I open it in Software Install, I click Install, and the Install button progress bar moves to the end of the button, but nothing else happens, and Sublime Editor does not get installed.
If I click Install again, I get a new tab in the Launcher with title "Waiting to install", and nothing else happens.
This behaviour occurred in Ubuntu 16.04.1.
Upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10 does not resolve the problem.
(I applied the update mentioned in this question)
Help appreciated.
