[Bug 917802] Re: gdebi-gtk crashed with TypeError in __new__(): object of type 'NoneType' has no len()

[Doug McMahon]

See this easily on 12.04 A2 install, upgraded, just try to use gdebi to install a .deb
Can happen whether from a right click on or in terminal

This bug can also happen, it'll be one or the other Bug 912389

Attaching  from terminal, in this case with bzr because current Precise
version is broken
