Public bug reported:
Whenever I attempt to install a .deb package for radeon for ubuntu
18.04, instead of installing, Ubuntu Software goes to 100%, but then
reverts the Install button back. Even worse, there is no error when this
happens; the process begins, it stops, and the only information for the
user to work with is that the Install button remained instead of turning
into a "Remove" button. Not even a warning or error.
Expected Results:
Ubuntu Software alerts the user the package could not be installed with the
reasons why, similar to dpkg -i
Actual Results:
Ubuntu Software runs through the installation in less than 3 seconds, and the
Install button remains the Install button, the only indication that the
installation failed.
