Michael:

I will supply the first two pieces of information you requested. The 
problem occurs on a Lubuntu 14.04 test machine (not the machine I'm 
sending this e-mail from, which is Lubuntu 13.10).  The problem only 
occurs on 14.04.

But from the testing I've done already, I'm almost certain that it will 
not fail if I type the statement you indicate in a terminal session.

In my testing, if I did a statement invoking gdebi in a terminal 
session, it worked without failing.

But the question comes to mind, did I do "sudo gdebi 
problem-package.deb" or did I do "gdebi problem-package.deb" (answering 
the dialog requesting priveleges)?  I suspect I did the "sudo" version.  
I will give it a try and report back.

As I recall, it didn't fail when run from a terminal session.  It only 
failed when I clicked-on (in Firefox, on my website), the hyperlink 
referencing the package.deb file, and selected the option to open it 
with gdebi.

It seems like it also failed when (in the file browser) I double-clicked 
on the package.deb file downloaded previously.

I already attached the package file to the bug-report.

I will do more testing to clarify all of these questions, and append my 
test results to the bug-report.

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.
