Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdebi
When you try to install any deb in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Beta, using GDebi, the program refuses, marking this error message:
dpkg: unable to read filedescriptor flags for <package status and progress file descriptor>: bad file descriptor.
Additionally, sometimes GDebi freezes after this.
Workarounds:
Install the .deb using dpkg -i 'filelocation'
How to reproduce:
Double click on a .deb on Karmic and allow Ubuntu to attempt to install using GDebi.
