[ubuntu-dev] Bug#650507: gdebi: Fails to install Google Chrome stable package

[Pavel Zubkou]

Package: gdebi
Version: 0.8.2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to install google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb package with gdebi
and it fails with an error, but running `dpkg -i` installs package just fine.

The package in question is https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-
stable_current_amd64.deb
