Thanks for explaining. Apparently I didn't look close enough. :/
Then I suppose we'd better use your small debdiff also for impish
The localisation changes were adjusting the translation files to match
the line numbers of the amended python source code. It was picked up
accidentally by my compiling in the checked-out source when testing the
fix - the compile generated new templates with the change. There are
zero changes made
It looks like also bug #1926697 is coincidentally about to be fixed
through the fix of this bug.

Dear Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)!
I agree. But the VTE package is maintained or signed by yours signature as
shown in its changelog
(http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/v/vte2.91/vte2.91_0.64.2-1ubuntu1/changelog).
Then please do this work with 100% effort. You make Ubuntu
Please.. Downgrading VTE for this reason won't happen. Many other
packages are built with the latest version (running "apt rdepends
libvte-2.91-0" gives you a hint).
Rewriting the patch or fix gdebi so the patch isn't needed on Ubuntu are
two reasonable options. If you want to help fix this,
Possible way to compile VTE version from Hirsute on Impish is the
following:
```
sudo sed -i "s/# deb-src/deb-src/g" /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get build-dep vte2.91

That was one of the first things I tried, but IIRC I still got the

Probably not. The hirsute version of vte2.91 does not even build on
impish.
For gdebi-gtk to keep working, somebody probably needs to
* rewrite 91_keep_fds.patch, or
* fix gdebi so it works without that patch.
Also I can't stop wondering why gdebi-gtk works on Debian testing

Downgrading VTE to hirsute's version solves the issue. Could anyone

Hi!
I can confirm the problem with gdebi-gtk, as already described by
Norbert.
The patch is apparently a workaround since nobody has had the time to
adapt gdebi. My refresh in the latest Ubuntu upload of vte2.91 was a
minimum change to make it still apply after upstream had made changes.

As 3 years before in bug 1756238 the root of the problem is VTE library.
Downgrading VTE to version 2.91_0.62.3-1ubuntu1 (
