This is very annoying. I just sent a .deb (containing an updated version) to a customer now that has all depencies installed but is not connected to the internet.
An easy solution could be to change the default association of installation of .deb files to gdebi-gtk instead, as I think it handles this case correctly (when dependencies are required to be downloaded possibly better too). ** Tags added: precise ** Summary changed: - Cannot install local packages without network connection + Cannot install local packages (.deb files) without network connection ** Tags added: quantal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/926763 Title: Cannot install local packages (.deb files) without network connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/926763/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
