Trying to install a click package using pkcon I get the following error. Apparently this is the reason why installing packages from the Ubuntu Store fails on my laptop.

mzanetti@noneyet ~/.local/share/ubuntu-download-manager $ pkcon install-local Downloads/com.ubuntu.developer.robert-ancell.dotty_2_all.click

Click packages may not be installed directly using dpkg.
Use 'click install' instead.
