[Bug 1731803] [NEW] LubuntuNext 17.10 - Not in Menu + ModuleNotFoundError

[Scott Cowles Jacobs]

Public bug reported:

I recently installed Lubuntu Next 17.10.

I have been using Flashpeak-SlimJet as a browser, but it is not in the repositories,
so I download the .deb file and use gdebi to install it.

The version of gdebi that Lubuntu Next installs is gdebi-kde, presumably
because LN uses Qt.

The first problem was that the .desktop file for gdebi-kde has the line
"OnlyShowIn KDE;Qt" (or similar).  I tried to alter the line, but was
unsure of syntax, and nothing appeared in the menu until I removed the
line entirely.

The next problem was that whether trying to bring up the program from
the menu or double-clicking on the .deb file or using the context menu,
nothing ever happened.

When running from the terminal, I got the following result:

"scott at scott-Asus-M2N68-AM-PLUS:~$ gdebi-kde
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gdebi-kde", line 26, in <module>
    from PyKDE4.kdecore import KCmdLineArgs, KAboutData, KCmdLineOptions, ki18n
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyKDE4/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    import sys,DLFCN
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'DLFCN'
"

I don't know if that is the only module missing, or if it just stops at
the first error.

I "solved" the problem by installing "gdebi" and invoking "gdebi-gtk"
