[Bug 1309387] Re: Gdebi not installing required dependencies

[Scott Kitterman]

Hello slumbergod, or anyone else affected,

Accepted into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available in a few hours in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  Gdebi not installing required dependencies

Status in “gdebi” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “gdebi” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU verification:
  1. use trusty
  2. run "apt-get download 4g8"
  3. run "gdebi-gtk ./4g8*.deb"
  4. click on "install" in the gdebi UI
  5. verify that the package 4g8 fails to install because the libnet1 dependency is not installed
  6. install gdebi from trusty-proposed
  7. repeat steps 3,4 and verify that the libnet1 dependency is installed this time.

  
  Gdebi is not installing required dependencies before installing the desired package.
  You need to run "sudo apt-get install -f" to fix the problem.
  The usual behaviour is to install the dependencies as part of the desired package installation.
