This most likely has to do with the uncommon charater "ö" beign on the file path. Characters "ä" "ü" "õ" give the same result.
When installing a package with gdebi directly form homefolder, so there is now "special" charater on the file path everything works fine.
The crash is important though, because "Desktop" is "Töölaud" in estonian.
