Bug Description

When I open a deb file with gdebi, all loads fine. When I click on install, it will ask for authentication as normal, but it will not actually install anything after. It flashes something I Cannot see/read, then I get the reloading bar, and when it is done reloading, it is the same initial window offering to install. It does not say installed or have any of the associated options, like reinstall. I can verify the package is not actually getting installed and it is not just a GUI glitch.

I am able to install the same deb files using "Software Install" as well as dpkg without any issues. Package Manager also works fine, and I use it for most all things. I also use apt and apt-get, which both also work fine.

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 MATE 1.20, all updates current always within 24 hours. I run updates about twice per day.

Guideline requirements:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch)
Release: 18.04

$ apt-cache policy gdebi
