Draftsight fails to install when running .deb through Software Centre

[Kyle Somerville]

Tried installing Draftsight using 12.04 defaults (open .deb in Software Centre) - installation failed.

Used Gdebi (after right clicking the deb, Open with other package, find package online) and installation was fine.

A number of users have reported that it's a Software Centre bug in that Software Centre doesn't call up an additional dialog box not usually present in most .debs.

Hi, and thanks for your report. Could you please attach the failing .deb file to this report? This way we can try to reproduce the error.

Thanks for your help!
