I fully concur. It is ridiculous that this bug report is marked as
non-RC, as well it is ridiculous that we have a version of gdebi
affected by this bug in Lenny.
(<rant>I've just tried to help out a newbie friend, which has installed
Lenny, and which need to install some unofficial .debs. You know what,
there is no easy solution for him, I'll have to tell him "you know, open
root terminal and type 'dpkg -i foo.deb'". Completely insane.</rant>)
I agree that the bug is not "grave", since the command-line part of
gdebi does work, and hence the package is not completely useless. Still,
the fact that the gtk part does not work makes this package unfit for
release.
I'm raising the severity to serious now. If the maintainer disagree
with the RC-ness of this bug (which would be bizarre at best, given that
he hasn't posted a single message to the bug log thus far), I'm ready to
raise the issue in front of the release team to decide.
Cheers.
