Description Jiri Eischmann 2017-03-26 17:34:43 UTC
I tried to install the official LibreOffice flatpak which requires GNOME 3.20 runtime which I didn't have installed.
Software didn't give me any clue why it cannot install the flatpak and that I have to install the runtime first. Instead it does nothing when I click the "Install" button. That's very confusing.

I have to run Software in the verbose mode to find out what the problem is.

Software should inform the user why it cannot install a flatpak.

i second this too...or at least it should automatically download dependencies...

I does that, if the GNOME remote was added beforehand.
