Title:
  gdebi package missed dependence

Status in “gdebi” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After installation gdebi inside chroot in pbuilder, i get following
  error

  /usr/bin/gdebi --quiet --apt-line ./libwnck3_3.4.3-99linvinus1.dsc 
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/gdebi", line 84, in <module>
      if not debi.open(args[0]):
    File "/usr/share/gdebi/GDebi/GDebiCli.py", line 73, in open
      "Debian binary package" in Popen(["file", file], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0]):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 679, in __init__
      errread, errwrite)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1259, in _execute_child
      raise child_exception

  gdebi use "/usr/bin/file" command to identify file, but package "file" not listed in package dependencies.
  I suppose that this is mistake.

  i'm use following command to install gdebi
   /usr/bin/apt-get install -y gdebi-core --no-install-recommends

  the problem appear in precise and quantal
  gdebi-core                     0.8.5ubuntu1
