Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdebi
If the path to a .deb file contains the space character then when GDebi tries to install the package it fails with an error box containing:
The package file does not exist
A nonexistent file has been selected for installation. Please select an existing .deb package file.
For example, all my .deb files were in /home/user/
causing the error above, if I renamed it DebianPackages, then it installs OK.

Forgot to mention this is with Kubuntu 7.10 Final release, so the package could be gdebi-kde.
