Package: gdebi
Version: 0.8.5
Followup-For: Bug #685193
I think this bug needs to be fixed for better user upgrade experience.
See http://bugs.debian.org/677991
In this sense, it is not just a cosmetic bug but this a real bug which
makes dependency resolver (i.e., other software) misbehave and cause
annoiances to the user going through the upgrade. We have no reason not
to fix this for next release. (I will change severity to normal).
I hereby attach patch to fix this.
Since some version of Ubuntu may still comes with older base tools, I
made this dependency as "OR".
Regards,
Osamu

Description: simple tool to install deb files
gdebi lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing
its dependencies. apt does the same, but only for remote (http, ftp)
