** Description changed:

+ There is a missing dependency on the dpkg-dev package by aptdaemon. The
+ dpkg-vendor command of the dpkg-dev package is used to detect if the
+ system is a Debian or Ubuntu derivate. The result is used to select the
+ correct lintian profile which is used to check the quality of local
+ packages before installing them.
+ 
+ If dpkg-dev isn't installed (by default it isn't installed) the test
+ package quality fails and every package is reported as beeing of bad
+ quality.
+ 
+ Unfortunately dpkg-dev is installed on nearly every developer system and
+ the build system which is used for the unit tests.
+ 
+ Test case: Install a local package file on a fresh installed system

  I tried to install Teamviewer 7 in ubuntu 12.10 64bit with the 64bit deb
  package downloaded from TW site, but Software Center says that this deb
  was a bad package. Also tried to install from gdeb but nothing.

Title:
  Missing dpkg-dev dependency results in false bad quality warnings when
  installing local packages

Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  There is a missing dependency on the dpkg-dev package by aptdaemon.
  The dpkg-vendor command of the dpkg-dev package is used to detect if
  the system is a Debian or Ubuntu derivate. The result is used to
  select the correct lintian profile which is used to check the quality
  of local packages before installing them.

  If dpkg-dev isn't installed (by default it isn't installed) the test
  package quality fails and every package is reported as beeing of bad
  quality.

  Unfortunately dpkg-dev is installed on nearly every developer system
  and the build system which is used for the unit tests.

  Test case:

  1. Boot a fresh installed system
  2. Download a package file, e.g.
     http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux_x64.deb
  3. Install the package file in software-center
