Public bug reported:

in testing the fix to Bug #824692, I noticed that software-center does
not appear to handle the situation where you pass it .deb file that is
already installed correctly.

say you have package-vX.deb which has already been installed on the
system.

and you now run 'software-center package-vX.deb' and when it loads up
you get this message

"Breaks existing package 'package-vX' conflict: package-vX ( )"

Now I would expect that running the above command in this case should
land you on the same page that you get if you navigate through the
'installed software' pages to that package.
