Title:
Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
.deb files fail to install from non repository locations i.e. The file
manager gnome-software claims "this file type is not supported".
Using dpkg from the command line works as expected so the files aren't
corrupt. This happened last distribution as well when it was first
released. Might be a regression caused by adding snap package
capabilities to the software-center?
