Fixing gdebi. The Ugly Hack!
This is how the manual describes gdebi:
gdebi lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its dependencies. apt does the same, but only for remote (http, ftp) located packages. It can also resolve build-depends of debian/control files.
Imagine my dismay when I discovered gdebi was broken!
Crack open your terminal with CTRL + ALT + T and enter the following:
[code]sudo nano /usr/share/applications/gdebi.desktop[/code]
Find this line:
[code]Terminal=false[/code]
And change it to:
[code]Terminal=true[/code]
Then save it. (CTRL + X, Y, and ENTER)
