Deb packages are opened in archive manager rather than deb installer GUI

[Vin Shankar (v-shankar)]

Go to the properties of one package, go to the "Open With" tab, and choose "GDebi Package Installer" using the radio buttons if it's on the list. If it isn't, click "Add", go to "use a custom command", and enter "gdebi", withou the quotes.
