The issue only appears to affect gdebi-gtk. The CLI install works fine, e.g.
m...@my-laptop:~$ cd Downloads/ m...@my-laptop:~/Downloads$ sudo gdebi google-chrome-unstable_current_i386.deb Chrome installs successfully. -- gdebi-gtk crashed with DebError in compressed_part_name() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407198 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
