I can confirm that this issue exists on an updated focal vm. In order to trigger the problem, you need to go click the download chrome button in firefox. Then you get a firefox pop up window that will ask you if you want to Open With Software Install or save the file.
If you save the file, then any attempt to install it works fine. However, if you choose Open With in the firefox pop up window, it opens Software Install but says "failed to install: file not supported". That is on the firefox deb (v91.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.20.04.1) installed by default in focal. In the same vm, I installed the firefox snap (v92.0.3 from --candidate) and had no problem opening the deb in Software Install from the firefox popup window. So this could be a browser snap vs deb problem. @ken-vandine, what do you make of this? Also, I tested this on Impish (since that's what I'm running) and discovered that the firefox snap (v92.0.3 from --candidate) and firefox deb (92.0+build3-0ubuntu1) did not give you a popup window asking if you wanted to Open With or Save. Both of them just default to saving the file to ~/Downloads. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867610 Title: snap-store cannot install local deb packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snap-store-desktop/+bug/1867610/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
