Hi, this bug affects GDebi 0.8.1 when I install the latest nautilus-
dropbox (0.7.0)

I am running Linux Mint 12 RC.

Title:
  After successful installation, Package Installer window reports
  "Error" status

Status in “gdebi” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdebi

  gdebi 0.1.6ubuntu1, Ubuntu 6.10

  When gdebi has finished installing a package, the "Status:" text for
  the package changes from "All dependencies are satisfied" to "Error:
  conflicts with the installed package 'name-of-package'". This is
  pretty misleading: it could lead people to think that the package
  hasn't been installed when it actually has.

  Instead the status text should perhaps be one of these:
  * "Successfully installed" (if installed in the current gdebi session)
  * "Already installed" (if installed in a previous gdebi session)
  * "Newer version already installed" (with "Downgrade Package" and a confirmation alert, instead of "Install Package") 
  * "Older version currently installed" (with "Upgrade Package" instead of "Install Package").
