  Installing local deb gives an error in packagekit

Bug description:
  Hi 
  To continue from Bug#1059600
  Trying to install a local downloaded deb package gives this error:
  "GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._pk_5ftransaction_5ferror.Code4: SimulateInstallFiles not supported by backend"

  As suggested I tried installing the gdebi-core package and had to reboot to have it working.
  I can now install a package without using gksu or sudo, great :-)

  Still.. why isn't the gdebi-core package installed as part of
  packagekit ? Do we need a dependency here ?
