Bug Description
When using gdebi-gtk to install a .deb the install fails with the message:-
dpkg: error: unable to read filedescriptor flags for <package status and progress file descriptor>: Bad file descriptor
This only occurs via the gdebi-gtk GUI front end, packages install perfectly if done via the CLI with:
sudo gdebi /path/to/

Same problem here using Ubuntu 18.04 beta 1. Did an update and now gdebit doesn't even ask for a password. But does work in terminal.
