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

[Stinger]

Ok found the command, 'gksu gpk-install-local-file' I tried with the ubuntu-tweak.deb.
double clicking it gives:
"GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._pk_5ftransaction_5ferror.Code4: SimulateInstallFiles not supported by backend"

>From terminal using 'gksu gpk-install-local-file ubuntu-tweak.deb' I only get an error message in the UI, not in terminal:
" could not resolve: ubuntu-tweak.deb"
As if it has not found the package ( located in my user directory )

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.
