Title:
  gdebi should search for .debs in current folder

Status in “gdebi” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdebi

  if you want to install a program which consists of two .debs, e.g. many games at www.getdeb.net, UFO A.I. for example;
  (ufoai + ufoai-data) - you usually place them  into one download-folder and install them.
  you can do that with "dpkg -i ufoai*";

  But my wishlist says: If you doubleclick on ufoai.deb gdebi searches the current directory for possibly dependencies as well - maybe as second priority, first should be the repository?
  should be simple to implement I think an would be very useful...


  Example: You have installed aMule 2.1.0

  Download amule-2.2.0.deb and amule-common-2.2.0.deb.
  Try to install with GDebi. It is not posible because GDebi says:
  - Not possible to install amule-2.2.0.deb because amule-2.1.0.deb is installed.
  or
  - Not possible to install amule-common-2.2.0.deb because amule-common-2.1.0.deb is installed.

  It is necessary to make: sudo dpkg -i *amule*.deb
