Bug Description
The attached screenshot shows the application saying it can't satisfy dependencies
I have been able to get this issue with deadbeak and Microsoft Edge
https:/
https:/
in the case of edge if you add the PPA then you can install via apt-get and nothing breaks
To reproduce just download a deb file and try to install it using the GUI
$ qapt-deb-installer ~/Downloads/
Get sad you can't install it without breaking apt...
install it anyway using dpkg
this is odd apt is perfectly happy
Installed with dpkg:
$ sudo dpkg -i ./deadbeef-
