Bug Description
Binary package hint: konqueror
If I have some .deb files in a directory, I want to install it using right-click menu. I can do it, but konqueror use dpkg, and dpkg cannot resolve dependencies automatically. Please, use some more sophisticated software, like aptitude or something else.

Ignoring the issues of the user being incorrect (we cant replace dpkg with aptitude - aptitude is a frontend to dpkg, as is apt)...
Martin, i'm assuming that you've either fixed this, or will fix this with your gdebi-kde, to pull dependancies in first?
On second thoughts though - because the deb is not from a repository, the dependencies may or may not exist in a repository on the users system, we could only install the ones that do - which in no way are guaranteed to be all of them. Feel free to mark this as invalid, or implement this in some way.
