[Bug 1756238] Re: gdebi-gtk broken in 18.04 error: unable to read filedescriptor flags

[Mark-pcnetspec]

As far as I was concerned this bug was already fixed in:-

0.52.1-1ubuntu1

in the main repo, so I can't see any need for this in proposed now.

But just to answer your question anyway, YES:-

0.52.2-1ubunti1-18.04.1

also fixes the issue (though now it would likely be more accurate to say
it doesn't regress the earlier fix).
