That’s because currently it requires ar, for which you have to install the whole binutils, which is 12 MiB. So we don’t do that. > The context menu shows as the second option 'Open with GDebi Package > Installer', and I think it would be hard to argue against this being a better > default, especially seeing as archive manager can't understand .debs itself > from a clean install... This is clearly not an acceptable solution since GDebi will not check whether the package has been signed by a trusted source before installing it. Because of that the presence of gdebi by default has already been questioned and I’m still not convinced. Acceptable solutions include: * splitting ar out of binutils; * writing a new backend for file-roller that uses dpkg-deb for debs instead of ar/tar. Cheers, -- .''`.
