[Bug 1915526] [NEW] GDebi disappears with no messages on Mate 20.10

[tetsuo29]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Mate 20.10
 - Release 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla) 64-bit
 - Kernel Linux 5.8.0-43-generic x86_64
 - MATE 1.24.1
 - gdebi 0.9.5.7+nmu3

Tried installing 3 downloaded .deb packages:
 - onlyoffice-desktopeditors_amd64.deb
 - opera-stable_74.0.3911.107_amd64.deb
 - Simplenote-linux-2.6.0-amd64.deb

In all instances, after gdebi displays a window saying that additional
packages will be installed and then asks for a password, it just
disappears with no messages and the packages are not installed.
Installing the packages using "sudo dpkg -i" in the terminal
successfully installed these packages. gdebi in Ubuntu Mate 20.10 seems
broken.
