[ubuntu-dev] Bug#768193: gdebi-kde: Fails to install package with message "package file does not exist"

[Rantovich]

Package: gdebi-kde
Version: 0.9.5.5+nmu1
Followup-For: Bug #768193

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
   Trying to install .deb package via gdebi-kde.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   Invoked gdebi-kde double clicking on .deb file in dolphin file
   manager.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   Gdebi-kde started correctly. When Install Package button is selected,
   gdebi-kde exits and invokes kdesu. Error message "The package file does not exist. A nonexistent file
   has been selected for installation. Please select an existing .deb
   package file." after entering correct root password appears.
   No console output. Gdebi itself from console (executed as root) works fine.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   Package installed successfully.
