It seems like Ubuntu-Software cannot install any package from the Ubuntu partner repo. I checked with Skype and google-cloud-sdk (see Screenshot).

Any news on getting a fix?

Does that repository have AppStream/DEP-11 data? If not, that's where the problem lies ;-)

Do you mean the Component files like in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/dep11/?

Yes, the partner repo lacks those. How can we get the attention of the maintainer of the partner repo?

I believe this is the same problem that was reported in Bug #1005209

It also affected the old Ubuntu Software Center, so I don;t think it's something that can be fixed in the gnome-software package.

Are you sure? The main difference I found between the main and the partner repo was the lack of the dep11 stuff.

Who can add this information to the partner repo?
