[Bug 1301422] [NEW] "Could not open ...deb. The package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file. Check the permissions of the file" with latest 0.9.5

[Alin Andrei]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 14.04 with gdebi 0.9.5 (updated today): gdebi-gtk can no longer
open deb files after this update. When trying to open a file, this
message is displayed: "Could not open ...deb. The package might be
corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file. Check the permissions
of the file".

I've tried it with quite a few deb files, which were working prior to
the update to gdebi 0.9.5, all with the same result.
