"Enable Third-Party Software Source?" dialog screenshot

Description of problem:
If you try to install a H.264 codec or something from RPM Fusion or another third-party repository using GNOME Software for a first time, an "Enable Third-Party Software Source?" dialog is shown. However, clicking on the "Enable and Install" button does nothing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-software-3.24.3-1.fc26

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run GNOME Software.
2. Try to install the H.264 add-on.
3. Click on "Enable and Install".

Actual results:
Nothing happens.

Expected results:
The third-party repository is enabled and the package is installed.

Additional info:
Clean Fedora 26 amd64 install.
Comment 1 AsciiWolf 2017-09-13 13:18:50 UTC 
Still the same issue in Fedora 26 with the latest updates.
Comment 2 AsciiWolf 2017-10-02 22:06:53 UTC 
Still an issue in GNOME 3.26 on Fedora 27, but it is now possible to click on the "Enable and Install" button. However, clicking the button displays a "repo already enabled" error message and installation is aborted.
Comment 3 AsciiWolf 2017-10-27 12:58:10 UTC 
It looks like it is now partially working in Fedora 27! I still cannot install the H.264 add-on, but I can now browse and install the RPM Fusion packages. However, some of the packages (for example Steam) still show the "Enable Third-Party Software Source?" dialog (although the RPM Fusion repos are already enabled) and then fail to install with "Unable to install <package name> as not supported" error message.

This is a journal log related to the Steam installation:
localhost.localdomain gnome-software[1826]: failed to call gs_plugin_app_install on packagekit: installing not available
localhost.localdomain gnome-software[1826]: running install with refine-flags=require-origin with failure-flags=use-events,fatal-auth with timeout=60 on plugin=steam on apps system/package/rpmfusion-nonfree-26/desktop/steam.desktop/* took 1ms
Comment 4 AsciiWolf 2017-10-30 13:52:50 UTC 
That's weird. I have tried it one more time and this time, all packages from RPM Fusion were showing the error I mentioned above, but installed without any issues few seconds after the error. Only one packages did not install - the Steam one. After a reboot, the error message disappeared for other packages except Steam.
Comment 5 AsciiWolf 2017-11-18 12:02:16 UTC 
It looks like that this issue has been fixed in Fedora 27, except for H.264 (#1440331) which is probably a different issue.
