Please.. Downgrading VTE for this reason won't happen. Many other packages are built with the latest version (running "apt rdepends libvte-2.91-0" gives you a hint).
Rewriting the patch or fix gdebi so the patch isn't needed on Ubuntu are two reasonable options. If you want to help fix this, please concentrate on one of those options. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to vte2.91 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1946499 Title: installation of deb-packages with gdebi-gtk shows "dpkg: error: unable to read filedescriptor flags for <package status and progress file descriptor>: Bad file descriptor" in gdebi terminal, package is not installed Status in Ubuntu MATE: Confirmed Status in gdebi package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-mate-meta package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in vte2.91 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1.
