[Bug 858246] Re: Software center cannot install opera deb file: Internal Error

[Grzegorz Śliwiński]

ruario at my Opera community (an Opera employee) has made research and he determined that at least for Opera deb file, the issue is with lzma not being present in default Ubuntu install.
Here's the full discussion and ruario's research's conclusion:

Title:
  Software center cannot install opera deb file: Internal Error

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I just tried to install opera from the provided deb package.
  Unfortunately, software-center always displayed an “Internal Error”:
  “The file x could not be opened”. I checked the file is okay by
  installing it with dpkg, which worked fine.

  See also bug 868188, the same error for the Google Chrome .deb.
