Title:
  passing already installed package to software-center causes conflict
  message

Status in “python-apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  in testing the fix to Bug #824692, I noticed that software-center does
  not appear to handle the situation where you pass it .deb file that is
  already installed correctly.

  say you have package-vX.deb which has already been installed on the
  system.

  and you now run 'software-center package-vX.deb' and when it loads up
  you get this message

  "Breaks existing package 'package-vX' conflict: package-vX ( )"

  Now I would expect that running the above command in this case should
  land you on the same page that you get if you navigate through the
  'installed software' pages to that package.
