[Bug 1059600] Re: Local deb package cannot be installed by double clicking it

[Matthias Klumpp]

No, it isn't - This is a bug in Ubuntu's Sessioninstaller. You can remove it
(sudo apt-get purge sessioninstaller) and instead install a frontend like GNOME-PackageKit (sido apt-get install gnome-packagekit) to see if it works with PackageKit.
Reassigning to Ubuntu's Aptdaemon.


** Changed in: gnome-packagekit (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Also affects: sessioninstaller (Ubuntu)

Bug description:
  When I try to install a deb package by double clicking it (google-chrome) , I get the following error message:
  "The action cannot be completed." and more details gives the following error:

  "Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/defer/__init__.py", line 489, in _inline_callbacks
  result = gen.send(result)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sessioninstaller/core.py", line 669, in _install_package_files
  interaction, sender)
  TypeError: install_package_files() takes exactly 4 arguments (5 given)"

  If I use the command line and sudo dpkg -i the package instead, it installs just fine.
  Must be a bug in packagekit IMHO.
