[Bug 1760910] Re: Gdebi crash in Ubuntu Studio 18.04

[Darin]

Let me know if this is a different bug and I will file another report,
but I think that it's the same.

I open a .deb with gdebi-gtk. The GUI opens. I click "Install" and gdebi
simply closes.

If I open a terminal and type gdebi-gtk path/to/deb.deb it opens the deb
in the GUI and when I hit install, it actually installs.

The method of adding gksu above doesn't work for me and most others
because gksu is deprecated and not installed in Ubuntu anymore by
default. It's a good workaround for those who can use it but it still
need fixing.

I'm using gdebi 0.9.5.7+nmu2 and Xubuntu 18.04 (upgraded from 17.10 if
that makes any difference).
