Title:
  Will not install debs

Status in gdebi package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I open a deb file with gdebi, all loads fine. When I click on
  install, it will ask for authentication as normal, but it will not
  actually install anything after. It flashes something I Cannot
  see/read, then I get the reloading bar, and when it is done reloading,
  it is the same initial window offering to install. It does not say
  installed or have any of the associated options, like reinstall. I can
  verify the package is not actually getting installed and it is not
  just a GUI glitch.

  I am able to install the same deb files using "Software Install" as
  well as dpkg without any issues. Package Manager also works fine, and
  I use it for most all things. I also use apt and apt-get, which both
  also work fine.

  I am using Ubuntu 18.04 MATE 1.20, all updates current always within
  24 hours. I run updates about twice per day.

  Guideline requirements:
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch)
  Release:	18.04

  $ apt-cache policy gdebi
