[Bug 891101] Re: Unable to select a program like default app for deb packages

[Sebastien Bacher]

Ok, so after investigation the bug is not a gtk one but one in those softwares, their exec line should have a % argument to specify they can take filenames on their command line:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/1.1/ar01s06.html

** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 882900
   softwares that don't take a command line argument should be filtered out

** Package changed: nautilus (Ubuntu) => gdebi (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: gdebi (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New

Title:
  Unable to select a program like default app for deb packages

Status in “gdebi” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I don't like the "Ubuntu Software Center" and I prefer use Synaptic/aptitude to remote packages and gdebi to open the local deb packages.
  I want select gdebi like default app to deb packages but I can't.
  I attach one screenshot with the contextual menu of a deb package. In it you can see that gdebi is showed and selectable but it isn't the default app.
  In another screenshot you can see that gdebi isn't in the list of apps available for deb packages.
