I am experiencing the same behavior in Xubuntu 18.04 (has been a problem for a while) when using "open with" on the .deb package from Thunar (right mouse menu). If I start gdebi-gtk from the command line and use the "file open" menu option then everything works ok.
I will dig through my logs for more info. This system is a fresh install of 18.04 Gdebi was the 5th package installed after (gnumeric, gppoder, synaptic, vlc). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gdebi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1749728 Title: Installing packages fails when launched via Firefox ("open with") Status in gdebi package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When launched from Firefox with the "open with" function, GDebi is unable to complete installing the package.
