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

[Bob]

I have an Acer One D150 and using Firefox (latest in 14.04) it appears to download Chrome deb but will not install via Ubuntu Software Center. After clicking on install it does nothing else apparently, and returns the install button as if it was not pressed.
No error messages etc.

Just my experience

Will try on a toshiba laptop later

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.
