[Bug 1059600] Re: Local deb package cannot be installed by double clicking it

[Stinger]

This is what I get from terminal

"gpk-application ubuntu-tweak.deb

(gpk-application:11620): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: This application can not
open files."

I tried with sudo to but it gives the same output.

Strange.. according to this:
http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-packagekit/stable/application.html.en

The command would be gpk-install-file but I can't get that one to work
either, I just get 'command not found'

Bug description:
  When I try to install a deb package by double clicking it (google-chrome) , I get the following error message:
  "The action cannot be completed." and more details gives the following error:

  "Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/defer/__init__.py", line 489, in _inline_callbacks
  result = gen.send(result)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sessioninstaller/core.py", line 669, in _install_package_files
  interaction, sender)
  TypeError: install_package_files() takes exactly 4 arguments (5 given)"

  If I use the command line and sudo dpkg -i the package instead, it installs just fine.
  Must be a bug in packagekit IMHO.
