gdebi 0.9.5.3 crashing

[slumbergod]

Using gdebi 0.9.5.3-ubuntu2
and gdebi-core 0.9.5.3-ubuntu2
on Trusty 14.10

I tried upgrading the two packages to the 14.10 versions using dpkg and they installed fine but the same crash happened.

I'm not sure what is going on. I right click an application (like the official release debi of Teamviewer) and gdebi starts up, begins its scan, then terminates. I think it is failing during its scan for dependencies.

I tried reporting this using ubuntu-bug in a terminal but that didn't work so I am not sure how to get all the required supported applications.

Is anyone else experiencing this crash? Suggestions? I don't use gdebi much but it is more convenient that firing up a terminal window and typing dpkg everytime I want to install a package.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 14.10 (utopic) reached end-of-life on July 23, 2015.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu?

Please let us know if you do. Alternatively, this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.related

I tried it recently with xubuntu 18.04.1 and the gui still crashes.
I uninstalled gdebi and went back to dpkg from the command line.
I will try again on the next LTS release.
