[ubuntu-dev] Bug#892897: gdebi-core: Gdebi quits prematurely

[Gene Benson]

Package: gdebi-core
Version: 0.9.5.7+nmu2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

In my file manager (Thunar) I double click on a .deb file. This opens the Gdebi
Gui. I click on "Install package" and Gdebi quits.
If I click on "Remove package" Gdebi quits. I expect it to ask for my password.
In .xsession-errors I see the following: Refusing to render service to dead
parents.

On the other hand, if I open Gdebi from the menu and navigate to the .deb file
Gdebi works as expected.
