AFAIK apt could replace gdebi, resp. dpkg + fix broken.

At least on my Ubuntu 16.04 it works:

[root at moonstudio dummies]# apt install ./pulseaudio_07-13-moonstudio_all.deb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'pulseaudio' instead of './pulseaudio_07-13-moonstudio_all.deb'
The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
  pulseaudio
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/2026 B of archives.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.

Ralf
