Public bug reported: If I run gdebi with a package (without right-clicking to open or double- clicking a package) it comes up all greyed out... but it comes up just fine. This is basically what I'd expect as I haven't given it any work to do.
If I do a normal run, passing it a package to install (double-click or whatever) gdebi starts up, begins running it's "loading" progress bar a couple of times and then... nothing. It appears to be hung up and never recovers. I have to forcibly shut it down. I don't know at what point this happened but it's been this way for at least the past 3 weeks, when I first noticed it (I only really use it, after all, in the occasion that a package I want is not in the repository and has an available package on the website). I posted to the Ubuntu forums and others have seen the same: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=216589&highlight=gdebi ** Affects: gdebi (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- gdebi runs, but never finishes "loading" https://launchpad.net/bugs/53655 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
